Found an albino cricket in my cricket terrarium.
    #18517747 -

I found this albino cricket when I was gathering crickets to feed to my gecko.


I thought it was pretty cool and was wondering if anyone else has stumbled across genetically mutated animals before.

Never mind, apparently that means that it just moulted.:cookiemonster:

I knew an albino human, if that counts.

Do you breed your own crickets?

How do you keep em alive long enough, and what do you keep them in?

I have a tarantula, so I think it might be cheaper to raise my own instead of buying weekly.

They just die so quickly

I wish I could get a tarantula, but they only allow "small lizards" here.

Anyways, on the topic of crickets, yes, I raise my own.
I don't buy enough for them to breed, but I suppose I could; I have some loose coir in there just in case.
The tub is 66 quarts with a couple of screen meshes cut and placed into holes on the top so the crickets get air.

I have water in there in a teak-wood bowl.
I use teak-wood because they can climb on it, but anything with traction will do.
I also put a small "island" in the center of the bowl that they can climb on.
The "island is just a few pieces of cardboard.

The bottom is lined with vermiculite to keep the smell in check.
Dermestid larvae generally come with the box of crickets and they'll eat the corpses.

I feed them Flukers cricket feed, it's pretty cheap and lasts a pretty long time.

I end up spending around 10 dollars a month on crickets.
The gecko eats about 5 a day, you'll have to do the math for your tarantula of course.

tarantulas are great pets, and i've always had lizards. Bearded dragons, water dragons, gekos, and have had the pleasure of a few others.

thanks for the info man

:awesomenod:

my tarantula can go around 2 years without food, but he likes to eat at least a cricket a day.

or a few crickets every few days.
