Wow. Thanks for posting that video. I was planning on keeping them well fed anyway, but I will make sure there's daily feeding! I put some FFs in on the evening of day 1 after separating them into smaller groups and there were already a few hunting and eating.

Just to update how mine are doing so far...
...not very well. I only have 6 or 7 left. It got very dry here in the past week ~25% or so, and I think the humidity in the tubs has varied too much. Feeding has also confused me a little. They seemed to be able to take either mels or hydei, but after a few days, they started dropping like flies. Cannibalism doesn't seem to be the problem since all are accounted for and none are visibly damaged. Temperature might also be an issue. The tub with the most survivors is at roughly 85F during the daytime, most of the others were cooler down to 75F or so.
The 2nd ooth hasn't hatched and doesn't look like it will.

Sorry to hear that kamakiri. Although I'm only rearing one adult female at the moment, I think you're right that humidity is the problem. Temperature seems fine to me.Just to update how mine are doing so far...
