Storage of ooths

[ausar318]

I was just wondering, is there any way to store an ooth for a short amount of time? I know that native mantis ooths can be put in the fridge for a few weeks, but can you do this with exotic species?

I ask because I have a bunch of subadults of a few species, and I’m wondering if there’s any way to stagger my ooth hatches. Because as good as I might be with multitasking, I doubt I’ll be able to handle 500+ nymphs at once

Hmm, What species do you have @ausar318?

I’ve got orchids, ghosts, spiny flowers, and a very pregnant pseudoacanthops. And I ordered some other ooths from a friend, panther mantis and creobroter

The only person I've heard of saying you can, sent me missidentified ooths which didnt hatch. Id also be interested if anyone has info about this.

Hmm, I am not sure! Sorry! I would assume that you can't refrigerate them, though.
