How warm are you keeping them Simon? I`m now keeping this ooth above a radiator (5"), in a ventilated cricket box, with a daily spray...although I suspect humidity is adequate anyway...and yeah...another 20 today!

Excellent simon..they`re coming then?! Think ```I`ve just had the final hatch (?)...about 23..hard to tell, they`re damn fast! Anyway this pushes me over 200 nymphs and that`s enough for anyone from 1 ooth.These critters are `born hungry` lol! taking fruit-flies within 12 hours of hatching. Bomb proof? only had 2 die so far...It may be necessary for them to `compete` amongst themselves a bit to reduce the numbers..?( I always have trouble with this scenario; a bit of `Darwin vs Buddha` sorta thing! but I really do have loads now!)
