Alright so on tuesday my wahlbergii arrives :lol: :lol: :lol:

atm im only getting one, i just want to get used to it

after a month or two i may get another adult, perhaps to breed, but i need to know;

when you get loads of nymphs out of an ooth, what do you do with them?!

i know how you keep them together, feed them and all that, its just, you dont keep every surviving nymph do you? :blink:

 
some people like to keep the nymphs together and let them thin the numbers until youre down to a more "managable" number. if keeping a antive species some people may release them. i think most people sell/give away the ones they dont want, that's what i would do.

 
Seems we discuss this every week. I keep them all in the large hatching cage until they grow a little bit and their numbers thin down. Then I put them in individuatl 32 oz deli cups.

 
keep em together till you have enough of a good size left. keep sepperate about 8-10 at l5 not just 2 in case that a molting goes wrong.

 
What I normally do is that I put about 6 of them into 1 deli cup. If I have too many, I ask my friends if they want them. If they don't then I would release them into the wild but its up to you what you want to do.
