Hatched out just fine about 4 weeks ago and still havent molted. They are still too small to eat hydeii fruit flies. Should they be bigger by now? Humidity is good and temp is good too....

you're probably not feeding them enough
+1! L1 is not the stage to under feed
I keep L1 warmer, humider, and better fed than other instars just to get it over with lol

Yeah I have been doing my best...I offer food all the time. Every so often, I see one catch a fruit fly and eat, but more often than not they just seem to be very nervous and skittish around the food...
But yeah, I have raised other nymphs and none of them seemed to stay this small this long. That was why I was asking.

Okay we have some molting going on. They're still so tiny though....well their legs are super long! I'm just very happy that they are molting now!!
