Hi all.
I realise this is a T forum, but I'm guessing you are all food experts too
Cant get a T ATM, so for reasons that highlight how strange my mind can be I thought I'd get some crickets. They seem good intermediary pets, exotic enough they will be interesting, but they won't survive long no matter the quality of my care, so not a huge responsibility.
Anyway, I got black crickets and they are in the large terra box I was going to put a T in (until I decided to go glass).
The ground to the lid is nearly 6 inch, and I've watched them patiently and they can't climb for diddly, so I'm hoping they are secure even if they can squeeze through the air slits. I know they can leap tall buildings, but if they have no grip they can leap all they like (I hope!).
I'm just after a little reassurance, if they breed will the babies be any better at climbing? And if they DID get out, will my house be destroyed by a swarm of locu-crickets? Basically should I be less lacksidaisical about it all, or would escapees small enough to slip through the thin slits not even last to breeding age?
You can see why a T was a bit daunting to me, I'm very paranoid! That said, my snakes have escaped once in 20 years, and that was long ago when I was 15 and dim.
Thanks all!
