Red Runner Ootheca Size and Appearance

Each Red Runner ootheca measures approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) and is typically dark brown to black, making the egg cases easy to identify and handle.

These viable egg cases contain developing Red Runner nymphs that can be used to start a new breeding colony or increase production in an established colony.

Ideal for Building Feeder Colonies

Red Runner oothecae are ideal for reptile keepers, amphibian keepers, arachnid keepers, breeders, and animal-care professionals who want to develop a dependable feeder supply.

Once hatched and appropriately sized, Red Runner nymphs may be offered to reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, predatory fish, and other insectivorous animals.

Why Raise Red Runners Instead of Crickets?

Red Runners are quiet, active, hardy, and typically produce less odor than crickets when properly maintained.

They do not chirp or jump, establish productive breeding colonies under proper conditions, and provide a dependable long-term feeder source.

Successful Hatching and Colony Development

Hatching success and development time depend on temperature, humidity, ventilation, and the condition of the oothecae. Keep the egg cases warm and properly ventilated without allowing them to become excessively wet or dry.

Because these are biological products, individual hatch rates and development times may vary.
