European mantid nymphs advice anyone?

[mbp]

so my ooth just hatched today, and i have a bunch of babies i was wondering when i should start feeding them fruit flies and when should i seprate them ?

 

[Davedood]

After 24 hours from hatch should be fine. If you keep constant fruit flies in a large container with them, you can keep them together for awhile.

You should spray the nymphs with warm water in the first day, they should drink and keep hydrated. After 24-48 hours you should put some flies in there with them.

Good ventilation and plenty of room!

they r very delicate

they like grass like perches

 

[MantidLord]

Delicate is a huge understatement. The above advice is dead on though. Good luck and don't be disheartened by the massive die offs you may get.

 

[mbp]

yeah i seen alot die but there is still tons of them alive and doing well
