 Laying eggs

they will need damp dirt. and it has to stay damp for the eggs to hatch. I use tuna fish cans that have been washed out. I add my damp dirt and set it in with the crickets and leave it in there for a 2-5 days for the females then a get sawdust damp and lay a thin layer on top to make sure the eggs are covered and keep them damp untill they hatch.

I have hatched 2,500 - 3,000 eggs in the last week. Good luck with you eggs.
