Acheta micro crickets 1-5mm

Acheta crickets are simple insects to keep, but they fear humidity and excessive cold. Once received, while you let them acclimatise, you can prepare a high, large and well-ventilated tank for them (faunabox). If you don't want to use a faunabox container, remember that if the tank is high enough you can also not use the lid, in fact they are not insects. climbers and are unable to fly. You will then insert egg cartons or pieces of corrugated cardboard into the case to allow him to crawl and hide; It is not strictly necessary for there to be a substrate in the box unless you want to try to reproduce them, having a free bottom will allow you to speed up the weekly cleaning of the box.

It is very important to remember that: "The better the feeder insects are fed, the more complete the nutrition of your exotic animals will be".

To guarantee an appropriate nutritional intake, simply provide him with potatoes, carrots and salads which do not create mold but tend to dry out. To increase his water intake you can use paper towels or cotton wool soaked in water (to avoid accidental drowning), alternatively use the practical aquagel, while to increase your protein intake you can use insect food and specific pellets. (It is recommended to chop everything for micro and small sizes).
It is strongly recommended to leave pure calcium available which will contribute to the creation of a more robust exoskeleton.
