Today I have bought some fruit fly's from petco.
I,ve made some of the masa mix from the guide (hope it works, great guide) and split the flies into two 32oz containers with screen lids (each has about 20-25 flies)
Ive cut and hot glued some screening so I have 10 spare containers.
I have collected sticks which I will microwave for a little to make sure nothing hazardous is in them from which I will secure in some 32oz containers (for the mantis nymphs.
I have one statilia parva ootheca which should be coming any day now.
I have read the forums and got so much useful information, everyone is awesome here.
I just wanted to make sure theres nothing big im forgetting or any useful information a first timer should know.
I will hope to see my ootheca hatch which then I will seperate depending on how many hatch into 32 oz containers. I will be keeping all the containers in a 10 gallon tank. This way I can just check the temperature/humidity of the inside of the tank rather than worry about each one seperatly.
I know fruit flys take around a week or so to start have a cycle go, so Im hoping I can get enough going by the time my ooth hatches.
But any other info that would help me out would be awesome!
