How to breed Locusts

[tryme]

how old do the locusts have to be to breed?

[Lucifus]

Adults i belive. I bought 14 adults the other day and put them into a big faunarium. Hopefully will start breeding soon but they are noisy when they see me.

I am successfully breeding them too, unless ive been lucky it seems really easy to do. Set it all up about a month ago and ive got babies already.

Thanks for that, will get some adults next week, will probably feed the roach colony I got to my gecko's and use that set up to try and breed the locust. DOn't rally do anything with the roaches even though I bought them for food, keep forgetting about them even though the breed like wildfire


Good luck with your own impending delivery (from your sig) )

Quality inforamtion! Thanks! You bred anything else?

Do you have any pictures of your locust set up?

do the locusts have to have light cant they be kept in a warm airing cuboard?

[ladybird]

Is it ordinary soil for the egg-laying substrate? Not sand?

Do they grow wings?

I think they do need a light source and not a lot will happen if you just stick them in an airing cupboard!

Slightly moist sand is the way forward. It's the best thing, as it doesn't collapse when they've laid their eggs in it.

Yeah, when they're full adults they do!
