My daughter shouted this out yesterday or the day before. At the time I did remember absentmindedly giving her permission to breed her pet crickets. I only said yes because I didn't think she could do it, though. Haha.
So she separated them into mating pairs, and apparently they got to work right away. There are several egg-covered potato slices in empty food containers now, and I'm not sure how they'll stay warm. I'm not willing to buy heat lamps for this, and our electrical outlets are overloaded as it is.
I'm on the fence as to whether to help her with this or just coach her to be accepting when they die off.
