Chinese nymphs

[robo mantis]

HELP i had 2 chinese eggs hatch and i want to give people on mantidforum the nymphs if they want them. I need a little lesson on how to package and get the nymphs to a good start any help???

Any regular box will work. Put them in small deli cups or styrofoam cups with lids. Probably will need to use heat packs this time of year.

i have them in clear plastic cups with netting and a rubber band holding the netting on (is that good)?

 

[Rib]

thats perfect The netting will allow the mantids something to grip on, and also give any mid transfer molts a better chance of success

 

[robo mantis]

just it is hard separating them

I would not expect to get much if anything for them as they are a very common speices.
