thanks again Kat. it really sounds simple but i usually make a big deal of these things that are unknown to me. my nature is guess. i was wondering if the new born nymphs will be able to eat pinhead crickets? also, when do you think they will be old enough to be let go outside and when in new...

horray! thanks for all the patience with me. i am NOT handy at all and have no concept of this sort of thing. my next problem is how to open the critter keeper to feed, water etc..hmmm

ok i worked on both today. i ditched the tee shirt and rubber band, i found some clear fine sceen that i cut to size and hot glued it to a hole i cut out in plastic top. for the critter keeper, i blocked the vents on top with some more of the clear fine screen and i found some netting at the...

well i dont want to use the CK but, i have nothing else. i guess i could order another tub from mantisplace. this way i have nothing to worry about. i need to order ff's which i could order from my local pet store.

sounds like a plan. the only issue i have is how will i open the kritter keeper to feed and water and clean? what should i put on the bottom? thanks again. p.s. the material i used is an old tee shirt that is pretty thin.

i am leaving this on alone. i need to set up another. i need more black plastic mesh for the critter keeper i have. where do i get more?

whew. sorry bout that. i get so nervous that i wont do the right thing. i never really like bugs to tell you the truth so this whole thing is weird to me. (always thought mantis' were the coolest though) where can i get that black mesh (in the hardware store.) anyone?

does this seem ok now?

where do i get that mesh anyway? i will use what i have, the lid is solid plastic and the container has no vents in it so i am replacing the solid plastic lid with cloth and rubber band . i have two ooths so i was gonna use one in the critter keeper. (i dont think it will hatch because it looks...

thanks so much again Kat. youve been a real help. i need two setups so i will set up the kritter keeper with the ooth hot glued to the top zipper pointing any way but up, (as it might be tilted back a bit) with some excelsior on bottom and something on the bottom to absorb moisture. (coco noir?)...

got a critter keeper. but it has holes on top that may be too big (escape). do i have to have the black grid on top for them to molt (hang) should i glue that to top of critter keeper also? and put the ooth stick up there too? in any specific places?

ok i just opened up the container, i noticed it is super hot in there. it doesnt have any air ventilation. what do i do for that without the risk of them escaping when they hatch?

ah ah . thank you. i knew something was wrong.. ok i will glue gun the stick to the middle of the black mesh i have hanging up there . but since the zipper is at an angle on the stick (check pic) will it end up at the right angle when i hang it flush to the top? i will wait for an answer...

hi all, i am new to this (in case you didnt know LOL) i was wondering if i placed the ooth on a stick (where she layed it) just in the middle the excelsior? is there anything else you can tell me that i may need to know? it will be six weeks next week since she layed it. she also layed another...

do you think i should try to hatch them? i dont know anything about it at all. i bought some stuff to try from himantis. i will be bothering you guys forever if i do. so i will try and this is what im doing. tell me if i have to change anything putting them near some heat source and spraying...

i had the ooths inside and have been misting them and keeping them in the window sill for daytime sun. and night time by a radiator in the house. i think its too late to put them outside .. what do you think. the first was layed january 9, the last one on sunday.

well. today she is gone.. :( thanks for all your help. is there any special way to dipose of her? should i bury her outside? any special place.? i will try my best for her babies. i just bought 15 crickets for her. yesterday i gave her two instead of one. i should have given her more so...

do i attach it 'zipper' side down. the zipper is the unsmooth side right? thanks again. is room temp ok for the ooth or do i need extra heat?

how do i attach the ooth to a stick because it wasnt layed on one. also is room temp ok for the heat or do i need to keep it near a lamp? how often do i mist and do i mist with warm or water temp water/ thanks so much

oops double post. sorry
