Ghosts haaaaaaaatched!!!!

[omar morsy]

Both Ghosts Oothecas hatched the same day!!!!

i got my work cut out for me!

 

[omar morsy]

Here’s the plan of the day

will let them rest undisturbed for the next 6 hours.

will then have 16 ounce cups with paper towel at the bottom and cloth lids. Will have a few popsicle sticks in each cup and mist every cup before hand. Will have 5 Ghost Nymphs in each cup.

sounds like a plan?

Feeding will be tomorrow

 

[hysteresis]

Not bad.

 

[hysteresis]

And congratulations! 

 

[omar morsy]

And congratulations! 

Thank you!

Sounds good I like to offer food sooner rather than later, just to be safe

Ghosts should be fine communally as long as they have appropriate food levels and enough perches/places to escape/avoid each other 

Congrats on the hatch!

Congrats on the hatch! They should get fed tomorrow. L1 are fine communal, but it is easiest for feeding and such if you separate them into groups of 5 or 6.

How'd it go?

 

[cwebster]

Congrats! They are so cute when they first hatch.

 

[omar morsy]

Thanx everyone!

 

[omar morsy]

How'd it go?

It went well, I ended up purchasing yet another two cups of melanogasters only because the 6 other cups didn’t yield flies in time! Yes I have 8 bloody cultures of melanogasters. I will never again run out.

dedication or madness not sure.

Get your hydei ready now.

Im trying to feed just my 12 and it's hard to keep a balance so as to sustain the cycle within the cultures.

I got 6 hydeis already up and running!

6 hydei

8 melanogaster 

total overkill

 

[hysteresis]

My ff people told me the trick is to get your cultures weeks in advance. That way the full culture is going strong. 

Luckily my spinys (4x L2, 1x L3, and 1x L4) are happy to accept hand-fed bits of anything. They love waxworms. 

I focus the hydei on the 6x ghosts, who are way too skittish for hand feeding. They're savages with the hydei though.

I. Ant wait to finally get the spinies to molt! They were born on the second of January and Still nothing! It’s crazy! Waiting impatiently
