[QUOTE="Steph1304, post: 213778, member: 38180"] Having a thread on that would be really useful! I've already started moving my mature beetles into another enclosure which is set up similar to the one above, but I also want to ask about breeding locusts. As you may remember I recently rehomed a large female LP, so I needed to buy locusts for her. Having read about locust care I drilled a hole in my utility cupboard and stuck a heat mat in the back and put all my feeder tanks in there. The crickets seem a lot happier and the locusts have done well too, but I was surprised when half of them moulted, sprouted wings and turned pink! I've gathered they do this when they are mature? So I did a bit of googling and see that I'll need to put a deep pot of dry earth in their enclosure for them to lay their eggs in. Does anyone on here breed locusts, and if so how easy is it to do? Just checking before I start that I'm not going to need to buy another 10 tanks etc :) [/QUOTE]
