Like heartmountain wrote, increase the feeding and also the calcium intake before you breed her. I also took a fecal sample of both the female and the male so I knew that they were free of parasites before I bred them.
I am not sure about the “cricketfree” diet for babies though… It hasn’t been enough research on that part – in my opinion. I offer my babies crickets, some pellets and also vegetables from the start.
I fed my babies 3 times a day – as much as they want to eat in 10 minuets. If you feed babies to little they tend to nib at each other and you get missing toes and tails.
I made my own incubator – and it is very easy and doesn’t cost nearly as much as a hovabator. If you follow this link below you can see how I made mine. It worked fine, and now I have 8 eggs in it again.
