henward Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 ok i have attempted this and gave up after 1 try. gotta do it gain, my new aro will love me for it. i can raise crix to adults from a medium size, i got them to lay eggs and i got them to hatch. but after hatching, can i mix babies iwth adults if i have lots of hiding spots like egg cartons? or, should i separate it? say i put plenty food, plenty moisture and cricket water stuff. do i still need to separate?

dragonz1833 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 yes you do need to seperate as they will get eaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 is there a way of them not getting eaten? like more egg cartons or is it something tha tjust happens i guess babies are a bit slow and disorientated, so easy pickings? so proposed breeding set up. 3 tubs - 1 is for laying with laying tubs. the other is for hatching and raising. the 3rd is to rotate when the stock needs to be replenished, and the older ones can be discarded and fed?

repto Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 stick with locusts,faster and easier,just feed out at the right size to suit the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 doesnt crickets have better goodies in them? in terms of beta carotenes? which one do you think will be better? and why do most people say crix are better than locusts? or is that my imagination?

henward Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 locusts are very easy they dont eat the young. and grass is easy, jus tleave a patch unmowed:D i get 2 to 3 bathches a year. 2 in the warmer seasons 1 in cold. currently, i have a batch, its not as big as the summer warmer months, about a third only. during summer, i would have an excess of probably 1000 locusts!
