How long?

[Digger]

JUST in case any of the four wild ooths currently incubating hatch ----- how long do you wait to feed the first batch of L1s ??

Thanks,

Digger

About 24-30 hours after hatching they should start taking fruit flies.

Excellent. Thank you Mike.

 

[hibiscusmile]

make sure to mist them first evening.

Ok Rebecca. All this predicated on any nymphs showing up at all !

I think there will be nymphs. I think there will be a lot of nymphs.

Be careful what you ask for Digger! All those ooths might hatch at one time!

Is this true for all species? I'm asking because I noticed that my newly hatched Iris Oratorias didn't eat the other day. So I'm wondering if I fed them too soon and if maybe I should have waited to feed them. If so, for how long. . .

Usually. But feeding them when they aren't ready isn't going to hurt anything.

For the original poster what kind of ooths? Tenodera? If so I wonder why you need four ooths.
