Congrates on the hatch-out! Sorry, I do not recognize the species. What is it? Without knowing the species makes helping you a bit dangerous! I don't want to give advice that may result in the death of your nymphs. So take what I would do with a grain of salt.

Yes, spray with water. Use a fine tip plant mister if possible. Line the container floor with paper towels or other substrate that will help hold moisture. Then mist. The nymphs will bend down and drink if they are thirsty.

Add a large amount of fruit flies now. The nymphs probably will not eat until tommorow, but add the flies now just to be safe. If you keep a large supply of prey in the container, you should have no problems keeping your nymphs together for the first couple molts. But they must be kept well fed!

There is no need to seperate them. In an open air container like that you will want to mist daily. No matter what you do some are going to die.

Yeah, just make sure to line some sides with paper towels. Mist on the paper towels, so most of the droplets absorb. Some will drown if you spray directly.

Mine can take hydei, but some are kind of skittish so it'd be best to start with melanogaster.
