Probably a stupid question but If you don't ask;
Can black/brown crickets interbreed?

Thanks. The reason why I asked was I keep finding hatching blacks in my hatching tubs, mixed in with the browns. I must have some rogue blacks somewhere. I don,t use blacks none of my reps / amphibians seem to like em. What a waste I have hundreds of the blasted things!
I shall hunt down the rogue adults with my torch!, and I dont care how I hold it!
If anyone wants any free blacks and lives in kent PM me. You can seperate them out from the baby browns! Might be an idea to wait till there bigger easier to sort them!  Serious though going for free.
Rick

Well it is a mystery cause I found one black in my brown breeding colony. I have reared the colony since they were 2/3rd's. ???????????????
It could be me though just missing seeing another black.
