so i only have 2 survived nymphs from an ooth i had [would of had a good handful if my roommies cats didnt get to my cage :( ]

but anyways. so i transplanted them into individual containers, and i guess one got injured somehow. i thought he was dead since i found him laying on the floor a couple hours later. to find out 2 days later he was standing. i added a fruitfly, he tries to catch it but fails many times and i notice he struggles to walk. after wasting so much energy i find him laying on the floor again.

i read that they'll be fine after an injury if they last till their next molt. is this true? and how would i feed him exactly till the next molt?

 
make sure u take a qtip and dip in water and offer to him right away, then take a few flies and smash them and stick them in just a smidge of honey on end of toothpick , then u have to hand feed him till he can either eat on his own, or he molts. ;) best wishes!

 
If you'd like a few nymphs or another ootheca I can supply you as I have quite a few. Pm me if interested. Being local, I can drop off for free if you'd like.
