Mole crickets in the insectarium

For maintenance, you need a container like an aquarium, at least 250X150, the height does not matter much. At the bottom - a layer of wet earth with a predominance of clay, approx. 50 mm high. The ground must always be moist, the humidity level - the lump of earth does not crumble, but the water does not drain.
The diet of the bears is mixed, as animal food - earthworms, flour crunches, etc. From plant food, cabbage, lettuce, root vegetables are suitable.
When keeping it, you need to take into account that males make loud noises during the mating season, adult insects fly, and bears have territorial behavior, and in a small container there are skirmishes among several individuals.
Bears live underground, and come to the surface very rarely.

At my dacha near Noginsk medvedok darkness, you live like in an insectarium*
Amazing creatures,why do you need them? Neighbors in the garden to throw

Well, if there are so many of them and even at the dacha-they could, of course, get sick of it... And so the creatures are funny! In Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyz children came to watch night fishing; a bear flew on the screen - you should have seen how excited they (the children) were! It seems that for these cattlemen, the bear is a favorite toy. And I would not refuse to keep it at home, but I'm afraid not to closely monitor the humidity, etc.

Kept the bear at one time.2 times observed their molting(2009, early August):

I somehow kept it for about a week, I got tired of it, it's almost invisible, and the point of keeping it if you watch it is not

Besides, it's a little difficult to hold it.Medvedka spends almost all her time underground and she needs a lot of space.Plus territorial behavior,cannibalism among larvae...

Yesterday I took a picture of my bear:I caught it in mid-August;it faded several times.Length approx. 3 cm.When should she become an imago?

They are supposed to develop for up to a year... And then the imago.

2 medvedki lives . 6 cm and the other 1 cm at first it was more but they ate each other they eat lettuce leaves, carrots, cucumbers, other bears, crushs

They're so cool. Do they contain them for something or just like that?

When I was young, I used to make plexiglass terrariums so that you could always observe an insect, i.e. I would fit two sheets of plexiglass, fastening them together approximately the thickness of the torso of bears, beetle larvae, etc. Then they were always in plain sight. But they (bears) stink terribly ))

Oh, I did that for burrowing wasps, but it was made of glass.

I'll put the bear in good hands. Someone from my city. The hen brought it to me in its beak. The bear is an adult, apparently not crippled. Lives with me since September in a cardboard box without soil, I feed her rabbit feed, apples and fish food. She probably suffers without proper maintenance.

thank you for information
