well all tho i thought she recovered because she stopped being sick but i just noticed she fell from her perch and shes acting like the male did before he died..shes walking around in circles and lying on her side..shes about to die...And im almost sure its the crickets..Soon as i hatch enough flys i wont be using them again..Lucky i got 1 ooth from her really..least i can breed with the nymphs If it hatches

Dude that really sucks. I hope the ooth you do have hatches soon. But your female lived this long, thats an old lady!! Any way, good luck with rearing the nymphs. Oh, I have a question. Is it possible to breed the siblings when they grow up? By siblings, I mean of the same ootheca, and two oothecas from the same parent. Please answer this! :mellow:

I'v been wondering is it possible to find out if an ooth is still alive or not, by cutting a part of it open? I was in your position roughly last year, with two way overdue ooths, cut them open, and it was all dry and crusty inside.failedday 40 and the ooth hasnt hatched..i failed.
If one we're to cut a living ooth, what would he expect to find, besides living mantids.
