Brunneria borealis ooths still not hatching

[brancsikia339]

Back in April i was sent 2 brunneria ooths. In late July/early August, 1 nymph hatched from each ooth. They both died young and no more have hatched yet. What should i do? Should i get rid of them or keep trying? I really don't wanna abandon this species so i'm hoping they'll hatch

i would say hold on to them, you did say that a couple hatched. maybe wait another couple of months. If anymore don't hatch by that time, then its up to you.

I heard that they are summer species, so try raising the temp maybe. If you don't want them i will take them off your hands XD

i heard they have to be frozen to succesfully hatch?

oh then i was way off haha

I don't think that's the issue. I need a way to incubate them to make them hatch.

Just keep incubating it. The ooth can take up to 6 months to hatch. Don't lose faith just yet.

i'm wondering if i should just throw them out

Just put it somewhere out of the way and spritz and check every couple days. If you have the space, why not? Right? I am getting to the point of tossing some various ooths from different species that are way past due, but I'm still holding onto them for a little while in hopes they will hatch. Good luck.

Thanks. That's what i've been doing for this whole time

I'd say just keep waiting, but you said that one nymph hatched already. That leads me to believe nothing else will hatch.

Why? The other pockets of the ooth look completely untouched. There's only 1 hole and it's from the hatched one

This is a species that hatches at various intervals per-say. You might have 3 nymphs hatch one month and a few two weeks later, a month, etc. No harm in keeping it right?
