How big is the enclosure? Can you get a photo of her as well? When they get closer to moulting, their abdomen will get black and shiny.Also, I don't know if black crickets are something you buy, or if they are wild caught, but you should never feed wild caught prey. There is a risk of parasites, pesticides and other things that make store bought the appropriate way to go.</blockquote>
