I use ecoearth for my adults too. I have my two babies on paper just because they're still getting the hang of hunting, so it's easier to spot crickets or silkworms against the white. But I try to provide a really natural setting for my adults, so I use ecoearth with plants planted in it.

I use eco earth in the adults......except one male that eats it even though is crickets are in dishes that they cant get out of . He also tries to eat artificial plants. He is not my brightest baby,lol.

My girl does that. She likes to dive at them from the top of the tank and ends up with the cricket and eco earth. Most of the time it's been a small amount that I can take away before she eats it.

What type of dish do you use? I should look into that for mine.

I use a peat moss with potting soil mixture (NO little white ball things in it) and on top i put down coconut fibre. I have a live plant set up. Both my cresties seem to LOVE it and they have lots of hiding places, so I am sure they are quite happy.

i use eco earth moss bricks. The ones you put in water and they expand. They burrow in it and sleep.

I use paper towel for mine although I have just bought some Ec0-Earth for my adults. The babies will stay on paper towel though.
