I had my first ooth hatch in the early hours of sunday morning so getting on for three days ago now, they are all doing well. However the ooth produced 2 final nymphs today, one is still hanging from the ooth with just the tips of its legs not free yet, nut not really struggling to get free any more, the other didn't even make it that far and is showing no signs of life.

I'm not amazingly worried about not all of them making it, especially as these last two were getting on for three days behind the rest but is there anything i can do to help the one that is alive get free apart from keeping the humidity nice and high? Would also like to know if it is normal to have some hatch so long after the rest.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

 
Yes, sometimes that happens, by the time they wiggle down the canal they wear out I think and neither one will make it, even if u get it loose, it is unlikely it will survive.
