I had to work 12 hours today. While I was gone, I had an ooth hatch, so I'm kind of in freak-out mode. These things are soo small. They're like eyelashes with legs. I guess that's what's freaking me out. I can barely keep track of them. I keep thinking one will jump away, and I'll never see it again (if they haven't already). So I'm having trouble feeding them so far.. I tried using my smallest fruit flies, but even those are too big and the nymphs are afraid of them. I have been keeping springtails in preparation, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the tiny little springtails into the cups. It's hard to handle something significantly smaller than a fruit fly. Should I just put the charcoal in the bottom of the cup? Ack.. This is tough. I knew Theopompa would be a challenge, and I want to put forth the effort, because if they don't die, that'd be awesome..
Anyway, any helpful tips are much appreciated. I haven't had anything this small before. (TWSS hurhur!)
