Dedicated Caresheets for Feeders?

[Teamonger]

Seems it might be awesome to have caresheets for the feeders as well as the mantises. A mantis is only as healthy as its food after all. 

Much of the starting hickups seems to be around the feeders (or it was for me).

I would be happy to start up caresheets for the feeders I've cultured to start if others like the idea.

I think that's an awesome idea!  I have had some issues with my feeders, and caresheets would greatly help in avoiding issues.

Xlnt plan , most of us newbies can use the wealth of experience gained by others in the lifestyle..

We have a lot on fruit flies, too much too read on one day. What feeders are you thinking of?

 

[Teamonger]

I was thinking Crickets, meal worms, roaches, wax worms (CosbyArt already has a nice one on these I believe so perhaps not needed), isopods, and anything other then fruit flies which are easy as pie. I'm going to try to write up a meal worm one this weekend as that is the feeder I have the simplest set up for and the most success out of everything I've raised so far.

@Teamonger Nearly all feeders care are easily found online, but having them all here would be convenient. One thing that would help is to put together a template, like the caresheets have, that way members could find the information they need easier. Anyone want to tackle a template guide?

To save on sticky posts and make the information easily found for everyone perhaps add the caresheets in a single thread too.

I'd be more than willing to put together a handful of the caresheets too once it gets going, and fill in any gaps with the many feeders I've kept.

@CosbyArt I'd be happy to get the ball rolling as soon as I find some spare time this weekend

I ended up with a flu this weekend so I did a lot of couch sulking and not a lot of anything else including getting this ball rolling. I'll try again this weekend.

Sorry you got the flue.

@Teamonger No worries, get feeling better. If I managed to do everything I wanted the days would have to have many more hours, just the way things are, life is always in the way.
