is it possible for dead mymphs to come out of the ooths as well seems i thought a few looked alive when they came out of the ooth but closer inspection they were more or less dead! i got a few live ones but seems some come out dead it seems!

No. They can't get out of the iith if they're dead. Some of them only just make it, though, and then die.

 
I see alot get stuck at that point and just die as they hang from the ooth.

 
well i got some hanging right now and they still are alive that wiggle and then i got like a few that like crawl on the side of the ooth and no telling if they are moving or not which drives me nuts!Is'nt hard to help them hanging though and just wiggling? accidently bumped my ooth yesterday and lost like 13 or so nymphs i thought some could be saved but was unable to as i even put them back on the ooth when they fell but that did not help either!

also tried a little water on them to see if they were drying out as they were put back on the ooth and that was no go either!I wonder if also the angle which you hang a ooth has a impact on how many come out alive or not. This ooth that i have i have it hung flat line or facing downwards the zipper part is facing straight down and it is hung in this fashion and wonder if to get any other nymphs would i have to change the angle of the ooth since i got some time left on maybe more nymphs to come out!
