i do it with my cup and hands inside the condo tank. its tall enough so the pinheads wont jump out. just gotta be careful cos they may jump up ur hands.

Thanks! Haven't checked this thread for some time. I've started to breed my own pinheads. They grow very fast! Before you know it, they are too large for my small frogs already. Anyway I bought the repashy bugs burger (food for crickets). Strange thing is they seem to die after eating it. I think the reason is that the food tends to be a bit wet and gelatinous. And the moisture made them clump together and somehow die.

It could be because of a high calcium content. Insects do not do well with it, at least where feeders are usually concerned. Crickets have a life expectancy of something like twelve hours after consuming excessive calcium. I don't know if this duration changes with age.

Hey bro bangballs.. congrats on ur cricket breeding.. im considering of breeding too.. cos quite hard to get pinhead resupply..
Care to share some tips on ur breeding setup.
Nyway.. i feed them sugarcane.. can buy from wet-market.. also when u eat oranges, keep the peels to put in the tank. Theyre growing well and fast too..

Thanks for sharing on the repashy cricket food. I almost did purchase it. Hehe. Im pretty comfy with my sugarcane diet for them.

About the bugs burger issue, I don't think it's because of the high calcium. The food is meant for keeping the crickets alive, and not "gut loading" them. But I've since stopped using that. Now I'm feeding them my sinking algae pellet, and the crickets love it. To think that the bugs burger costs $15.. Zz

Breeding- what I did was purchase a box of adult crickets, place a small container with soil or peat moss into the cricket enclosure for 1-2 days and then remove them. You will be impressed by how instinctively those pregnant females will gather at the container and start laying their eggs almost immediately. They shove the end of their abdomen into the soil. Within 1-2 weeks you will be amazed by the number of little fellas hatching out from the soil. Start feeding them and soon they'll reach edible size. Read all these from the internet. Something to note though. People always advice spraying water to keep humidity high. But they are from temperate countries. Our climate will never require that. In fact I realize too much moisture kills the crickets. Some people feed with moist food (like sugar cane). I just dip my pellets in water to moisten them. That's about all the water they need.

Tot this is a common tree frog? Cos i saw in qianhu and khatib. Khatib one they have like 10 in a small tank

Sorry photobucket got some problem.

Sharing my frog enclosure. Using the normal gex tank. With some live plants and live moss. Low budget now, hence the small tank.

Focus should be on tank height.
