    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My baby crickets (1st time breeder) are a month old now, and they’re only about 1/4 inch. Is it because I don’t have a heat source? I’m feeding them all my spare veggies. potatoes, carrots, lettuce etc. I raised adult crickets all the time and i’ve done a pretty good job, but i can’t seem to make em put on weight!
 
They do well at about 90 degrees, and I would try a ground up cereal/grain for food. Make sure they have a good clean water supply, but the fresh vegies may be enough h20. Most petshops sell a variety of cricket food, but get the ground up grain.
