Crickets breeding in humid hide

[geckomom]

During my last cleaning, I noticed teeny bugs crawling/hopping around my gecko enclosure, especially when I went to change the sphagnum moss in the humid hide.

Caught one of the bugs, looked at it under a magnifying glass (was worried it was some kind of nasty parasite), and found out it was a newly hatched cricket! Obviously, the crickets I feed my geckos are laying their eggs in the humid hide, and the eggs are hatching.

My question: Is this a bad thing, or a neutral/good thing? I know I'm not going to get lots of "free" food this way, as I'm sure not many of the baby crickets will grow to medium/large size in the enclosure. What I'm worried about is if the little crickets will irritate/stress out my geckos, or maybe bite them when they're sleeping (especially the 2 gex that use the humid hide quite a lot).

If anyone feels that this situation is not good, how do I get rid of the baby crickets/eggs? I use cage carpet as a substrate, which I routinely change, so I could get rid of the moss (which I've already done twice), the carpet, clean the enclosure out well....anything else I'd need to do?

And....how would I prevent this situation from happening again in the future? Use something other than moss in the humid hide? Suggestions on what else to use? Both the geckos and I really like the moss, but will change if needed.

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions/advice.
