[QUOTE="TisRayMan, post: 334078, member: 11585"] I would really appreciate if anyone could provide a link or a quick overview of the overall method for rearing nymphs, juveniles, and adults for communal propagation. I'd like to get my head around all the requirements and the general approach taken. So I have a few questions to reveal a few of my impressions thus far, Once an ootheca hatches, are the nymphs best kept together in numbers in one or more separate containers, and release the fruit flies on a schedule and hope for a high survival rate? At some point, is it necessary to move to raise each surviving, growing juvenile in its own individual container? And then does one introduce them into the communal setup when they reach adulthood? I am asking because I understand that juveniles need individual smaller containers than the communal enclosure to assure they can feed, grow and molt properly. This is my impression of one approach to take. Basically I would like to know how to keep the communal mantid in various stages of life, rotating them through the various habitats. I would really appreciate if someone would help enlighten me, and expand upon the best practices. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
