[QUOTE="Exotic-Mantis, post: 2121, member: 55"] Hello, Keep the ootheca in the fridge until about 3 weeks from when you want them to hatch. Within those 3 weeks, begin to incubate them with a 60 watt bulb. Mist the ootheca daily. Hatchling nymphs can eat fruit flies, aphids, and perhaps the young roaches. I recommend seperating nymphs ASAP so there won't be any cannibalism. Nymphs are not VERY ferocious, however, as they get older they will become! Females often cannibalize on males when mating. Humidity is nott oo important. Spraying nymphs-adults once a day should do the trick. (As for housing, keep nymphs in deli-cups and when older, small critter keepers can be used.) Thanks Eros [/QUOTE]
