  • My icecream tub has been filling up with eggs over the past few days I cut an egg tray to fit around the top to help the females to get in. All has went well up till now I will let you know if the eggs hatch. Thanks for the help

  • @fifeplaster oh well done! well take them and put them in a new tank and feed then lettues and cabbage on the floor when they hatch!

  • do you have to keep them in a big enclosure?

  • @farmerz245 not really tbh! in the video you sore how such a small space all the tanks fitted in! just don't over populate the cages and it should be fine!

  • @mvdrawer np, I aim to please!

  • @mvdrawer keep them about 25 c, and just feed them cabbage etc, yes you can give them grass, but cabbage it more juicer, and try cucumber, but remember they go moldy fast so you will need to take it out after a few hours. and remember because they are so small, even a dot of water can drown them, so be carful what you are feeding them :) good luck!

  • @xfire5770 thanks for sharing

  • Just so you know, if you keep the eggs incubated at up to 30c expect nymphs at around 12-14 days. 25c is as low as you'd want to go, so hotter (up to 30) means quicker hatching, colder will slow, anything below 15c will kill them off completely.

  • @fifeplaster ahh thankyou"
