Why Do My Crickets Keep Dying?

[Conrad Lucas]

Crickets are pretty hearty little critters, but they’re not bombproof. They are prone to a lot of the same issues as reptiles, including viruses and parasites.The first thing you should be aware of is which problems affect which species. The main species of feeder crickets are Acheta domesticus (the brown house cricket) and Gryllodes sigillatus (the banded cricket). Most problems that crickets have are due to habitat conditions, viruses, or parasites. Check out our full article for more details on diagnosing problems with crickets.

This explains a lot—I always assumed cricket die-offs were just bad luck, but the humidity and ammonia buildup points really hit home. Definitely makes me want to rethink my setup before blaming the geometry dash crickets themselves.
