I found my only male in a real bad state today.
Stuck in old skin and a weird kind of bubble sticking out in his midsection.

Had to put him in the freezer.

So now im sittinge here with 6 females and no males....


GGGgggRRRRRRRrrrrrRRr

Sorry to say Chinese are a strange speices.

Most say easy to keep, But also known to die as nymfs in hordes!

Cared and tendered in the same way...

thts not fillin me with good feelings lol on my 1st ooth lol

I had an ooth and around 200 hatched and now i only have 14 left all L2-L3.

Chinese arn't really beginner species due to their high mortality rates during the first few instars, they are only common because of the huge amount of wild collected ootheca available which flood the market at this time of year and can be bought for only a couple of quid. You will be very lucky to get any that are captive breed.

They are plenty of much easier to rear species available.
