[QUOTE="Chivalry, post: 203380, member: 6149"] I have a pretty high mortality rate on my B. borealis hatchlings (>50%)... what is it like typically? They are in an 80 oz deli cup (between 8 and a dozen depending on who's hatching and who's surviving) with about a 3" square cut out of the side with screening, top is the normal hole-punched screen with shelf/carpet liner glued over it. They are getting D. mels once a day and misted once a day. I don't often see them eat, but I read somewhere that they are "shy" eaters, and I -have- seen them eat on occasion, and there is stool at the bottom, so at least some of them are eating fine. Survival has been much better since I ventilated the cup but I'm still losing more than I'd like and no molts to L2 yet. Also, how long can I keep them together? [/QUOTE]
