I bought crickets about a week ago... they were adult crickets. I started seeing baby crickets popping out from the coconut fiber about 2-3 after my alligator lizards ate off the remaining crickets. I almost thought they were some other insect until i inspected them more and they began jumping. What do you think? Should i leave them be or should I put them aside in a different container. I don't know much about taking care of them. I need help.

There are baby crickets constantly hatching in my adult tank.
Coconut fiber is perfect medium for them to lay in. The usually lay their eggs under the water dish.

It's nothing to be worried about.
