I took this photo of an egg recently.

Hi redwoman,

Don’t worry, though those eggs are really small, if they’re there, you would be able to see them provided you looked carefully. They are indeed small, about 3-4 mm long, but they can be seen with naked eyes.

I’m still new in this cricket-breeding stuff, and it happened by accident. One night about 2 weeks ago I saw one female cricket busy doing something to the wet cotton layers I had put in the tank for their drinking purposes. That cricket was busy poking it’s ovipositor (that long stick thingy) through those cotton layers and true enough, the next day I checked, there were many eggs embedded in between them.

I’ve been keeping those eggs in a warm room and man I do hope they’ll hatch soon. I need pinhead sized crix for my newly bought baby beardie.

Good luck to you
Chucky

If they look like the one in the pic I posted, it’s very possible that they’re eggs. Last week when I was about to clean the cricket’s tank I accidentally saw one of the crickets pooping.

What came out was a small substance mixed with clear liquid, totally orange in colour, just like the colour of the carrot I had been feeding all of them. I guess they are what they eat, so if you have anything like in that picture I posted, they could be eggs and most probably not their poop.
