Hiya Dazook, I don't really like using mealworms so haven't got much to say for them!

Freakygeeky started an extensive topic on mealworms here;

you can but i highly suggest you don't because thier are the larvae of the a fly and the adults need to eat things like fece's and nasty stuff like that there is a topic on here somewhere i think about this

wrong, the adults don't eat at all!

For crickets, is there any ratio of male:females you need to keep in order to make sure all the females get fertilised, i.e. does the male have a limited number of females he can mate?
