Creo nymph help

[Buddah4207]

So I recently paired my Creobrotor pictipennis and got a nice sized oothe. Now this was about a month ago, the oothe started hatch with six scouts. Now I have a few questions. When should I start feeding them? At least a few days from hatch time is what I heard, is this correct? And when should I separate them? Are hydei small enough or our do I need malogasters? I'm sure there are mie coming, but when and how many should I expect? Thank you for the time and help.

I always like to wait a few days with offering food but you can mist so they can have a drink right away. My Creobrotor nymphs all seemed to flee at hydei so I started them off on malogasters. I found that if given a decent amount of leg room and food, the nymphs could be kept together without too much cannibalism in the earlier instars. They can be a hoot to watch when they start having mini claw off dances with one another.

Wow sometimes I need to slow down lol. I went and read the dedicated care sheet and it answered most of my questions

Only question I still have, these first few "scouts" are just the start right? I mean 6 nymphs is ok but it's a big oothe and just thought there would be more. Is this species known to take their time hatching?

Ok awesome thank you for the response.

At about what stage do you start separating them up? Is a 32 ounce with excelsior ok for say 5?
