    Hello from Toronto!

    Thanks for the relpy, yeah I'm thinking that will be best. I have them in two separate plastic cup nymph enclosures but they are right next to each other. How long can they go without food? I read somewhere 2 weeks is that true do I need to worry about that? And how long does it usually take for...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi Guys! Thought I would check in as I have a question. So it has been almost 2 weeks since my babies hatched and I'm a little worried about them at the moment. I know they are supposed to be malting soon but today they started going pretty crazy in their cages, both of them (decided to keep...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Great I'll pick some fruit flies up today. Damn they're just so cool! and I'll find a nice stick for em to crawl on. I was getting a little worried that I'd done something wrong but they hatched as soon as I turned on their light this morning and I couldn't be happier, I just hope I can keep...

    Hello from Toronto!

    IT'S HAPPENING!!! They're hatching! IT'S SO EXCITING!!! Wow thanks for all the help guys looks like it turned out great! So my plan is to keep maybe 3-5 of them and release the rest. You mentioned that I should keep them together in there until they first molt right? What is my next step...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Thanks again for the tips! So this is how I got the Ooth now. To keep it warm I have put it under a light. Should it be kept warm 24/7 or should I turn it off at night? Also I bought a spray bottle to keep it humid since I have it inside now however I'm not sure how much I should spray. If you...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hey thanks for following up! So here is how I got it now. I have it just in a plastic container with air holes in the top. My plan is to wait until they hatch and then put a few into cups like this:  and once they're in there set up a proper container for when they grow larger. What do you...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Does anyone know of any videos I can look at where they use the hot glue gun to glue the ooth to the top of the habitat? When I searched on YouTube I only found the stick method that I used which you all have said isn't good haha but I can't find videos of them doing it any other way. Or...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi Descartes, I do remember a definite point on the ooth when I was setting it up. That makes it easy to figure out what angle the put it on as that had me stumped before. Thanks for the picture and diagram, I'll have another look at it tomorrow see if I can feel the "rough" area where they...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hey Thomas! Thanks for the quick reply and the advice. I'll have a look at the ooth again tomorrow as it is outside right now and change it up. Can you see that band where they hatch from in any of the pictures? I can't which means I probably have it up against the stick haha oops. I should be...

    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi Guys! I'm an Aussie living in Canada. When I was back at home I had a mantis crawl onto a beer bottle I was drinking. I thought he was badass so I put him in a container and found random bugs around the house to feed him and it was great fun. After a few weeks he started eating less and I...
