Hi all, in about two weeks i'd like to offer a few of these nymphs up for exchange, preferably for mantids but will consider other sticks, if anyone wants to discuss it, lemme know in a pm :)

Just to update you all, they're doing really well, one hatched a couple of days ago but couldn't free itself properly from the egg, it lost 3 legs and didnt make it, didnt even attemp to feed, but it has been the only loss. The rest are now happily feeding on bramble and rose, i'll be getting eucalyptus and oak tomorrow for them as a 'side salad' to keep up the variety and health. Once they start feeding, they grow quite fast considering how large they get.

How long did it take for your eggs to hatch? I have some eggs that are about 5 months old but no nymphs yet :-(
