Sibylla pretiosa ootheca

baskmantids · May 15, 2015

One of the two oothecas I have hatched 31 baby nymphs

I separated them into small groups after they dreid out. Was wondering if I should feed them now or after they moullt and should I also give them water? And if anyone can share some info or tip on there care that would be nice.

And if anyone is willing to trade after they go through there a couple moults and is also will to work with me with me on the shipping, as I've never shipped any live animal before. So if you can teach me and help me practice that would be great

I would try but my last group didnt eat but once before molt. I have raised a few generations of them. They are easy to keep. If you need any info pm me.

There is perfect information on here as to ship and care for new kids. I would think put some small fruit flies in so they don't eat each other but I'm still learning myself ; )

the is info on how to pack, but I'm sure when one is shippin you have to take into account the Temps where you live and the receivers temps so you plan on where to use a heat pack or ice pack. and I was wondering how people got those boxes? and where they get the insulating foam
