New bugs!!!

[Truffs1178]

Here are some giant leaf insect eggs I just bought. They're due to hatch in three months. And here are some baby flower mantids and Egyptian mantids I also just bought. They hatched a week ago. I'm going to breed these once they're fully grown. I bought 8 flower mantids and 6 Egyptian mantids. They are being heated to about 25-30 degrees Celsius so they grow faster and healthier. I find that mantids kept at room temp often die randomly, get shedding problems, plus they take ages to grow. I find keeping them at temperatures their species is used to in the wild works better and gives them more energy, but you have to feed them more often.

Im going to keep updating this thread over a few months to show you guys how they are doing, what hatches and how successful the breeding is going. Enjoy.
