How long to wait for hatching? M. religiosa

[lazikade]

Hello!

I am attempting to rear the ooths produced by a wild caught adult female, who was caught while pregnant. The ooths appear fertile to me (though input on that would be appreciated).

They spent 2 months in the fridge and are now out at room temperature. My main concern is; how long should I wait before deciding they aren't going to hatch? I don't want to give up on them too early, but I've heard quite different reports on what the hatch time for these guys are (anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks).

They were removed from the fridge on December 30th and January 19th.

Depends on what species they are. But usually around 1-2 months depending on temperatures.

But I would wait for around 3 months just to be sure.

some times they are slow, are they in a lighted warm room?

Can anyone tell me if this ootheca is hatching? We’ve identified them to be European on this form. So far, only two coming out from what it appears. Sorry to jump on this thread, but it seemed relevant:
