Good luck! My females have had terrible fertility despite having been mated several times by three different males. The first ootheca they've laid is due to hatch soon and candling has revealed only about a dozen developing eggs out of nearly two hundred.

Sounds like they have really low fertility   Fortunately i have two females so hopefully they'll produce enough oothe for me to continue another generation
