cricket question

gothra Jun 01, 2004 06:36 PM

I wanted to start my own cricket colony, my question is, if the starter crickets contain parasites, will these parasites pass to their offsprings? How can I tell if a cricket carries parasite? do they die fast?

I dont know how to tell if a cricket have parasite but i do sure know that they will pass it to their offspring. Not by laying eggs but the enclosure and its surrounding will be contaminated.
