oothecae in the fridge or outside.

[nicks75]

So last year I bought 28 Tenodera sinensis oothecae and kept them in a brown paper bag in my refrigerator for about 3 months during the winter, once spring came I put them outside and got 0 of them to hatch. I bought 15 more this year and was thinking it would be better to keep them outside during the winter, I live in south west pa, Pittsburgh area, so the winters get pretty cold. Would I be better off keeping them outside and letting nature take its coarse or trying again keeping them in the refrigerator?

If I kept them in the refrigerator do they need any care or just keep them in there until ready?

Your problem is you didn't sell them to me? haha, no, if keeping in fridge, u must mist them just like as if you were hatching them.

Need misting good 3 times a week. They have to have moisture or they dry out.
