Number 8 not looking happy, I removed a dead cricket from the last feed and didn't replace it. I also removed most of the sphagnum moss as the whole enclosure seems too moist. Most of those enclosures seemed okay, but maybe they need to be spread out instead of stacked so they all get the extra ventilation via the lid but the main problem is the water dishes wicking out I think. It's hard to know how I'd stop that in a small enclosure because it's not just the moss, it's also the peat deposited on the surface from burrowing.</blockquote>
