#1702797 OX View Profile	Rearing I have been having trouble keeping my hatchling crickets alive for longer than about 1 to 2 weeks. Can anyone give me some tips that might help out? I have 4 small cups that just hatched out over the weekend. Not sure exactly when, I was out of town. I just want to make sure that they stay alive because I have some beardies due in a few weeks and I need a supply. Any help would be great. Thank you very much, OX

Temperature should be in high 80s to low 90s. 3. Carrot, lettuce and grind oatmeal is what I use. 4. Use a wet tissue paper or cotton ball as a source of water for them.

I would have them in it, but their container is too big. They have toilet paper rolls to hide in because I ran out of egg crates and they are eating fish flakes, cat food, and rat food pellets. I am going to get a heater for them as soon as I can though. I will grind op some oatmeal as well. also they do get veggies that are left over from when I feel the beardies in the mornings. Thanks for your relpy. OX
