There is nothing like waking up to a swarm of freshly hatched nymphs. :wub:

Lol yeah

 

[Mime454]

Are you going to sell some? Or keep them all for breeding?

 

[petoly]

probably gonna do both. depending on how many I end up with.

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

Nice!

 

[mantid_mike]

how many nymphs have you been getting per ooth?

 

[Mvalenz]

Awesome! I have a couple of ooths incubating as well. What are you going to feed them? I know this species is small.

 

[petoly]

right now I'm at 24 per ooth average. I have 6 ooths incubating. Another hatched this morning. it was a small ooth. only 6 babies. My first ooth they are all l2 minus 2 who are about to shed to it.

Congrats 100 Babies . I only got around 40-50 from 3 Ooth all together

Mvalenz I have melano and hidey fruitfly cultures. First you feed them the melano. Don't do it right when they hatch though. wait 2 days. on the third day feed them. do spray them on those two days of no feeding though and I'm sorry to hear that SilentDevil. I doubt I will have 100 babies but we will see. So far my count is 35 out of 2 ooths. Got 4 more ooths incubating, and the mom appears to still be producing.

My Third ooth Hatched Today. This time about 35 Babies. I'm going to start selling some soon because I'm going to get baby loaded.
