| My cricket eggs hatched a couple of days ago and the 1st instars are pretty tiny. How long does it take for them to grow to the size of pinheads. | |

| Probably less than a week. The "smalls" at pet stores are 3 weeks and the "larges" are about 5. | |

I think that Andrew is right with his statement. It's about a week. Maybe a LITTLE more. Some grow faster than others. Occasionally you'll find that one cricket that grows super fast compared to the others. At least that's what happens with mine. | |
