i have a hatchling about two weeks old and its eyes are shut while he is moving around. i had thought i had seen him open one of his eyes earlier but i may have been wrong. underneath his creases of his eyelids is a black dot that, to me, looks like these could be his pupils being seen through...
i finally got my first litter to hatch about 2 weeks ago and all seemed good and healthy. today i found one that isnt opening his eyes, but seems to be healthy otherwise. i have a reptifogger to keep the humidity up in the veiled enclosure. any suggestions?
what causes hatchlings to die 48 hours before they leave the egg? so far after 15 hatchlings, the 16th poked his head out of the egg and and thats where he laid with both eyes half open lifeless...
so how could that be prevented in the future?
Nobody!??
doesnt anybody have a pic of their outside enclosure? im lookin to make one and looking for ideas. also would i have to keep the female and male seperate for a large outside enclosure?
what is the average life span of a fruit fly? im asking this because i just so happen to have 4 cultures i acquired after feeling bad that i didnt have anyfood for them right away. i think i wasted some money
it took them a full 8 months. but what i was doing up until 3 weeks ago was keeping them at 80 and dropping 10 degrees at nite. it was not until i was reading these forums that i found out everybody was leaving them constant. its also her very first batch.
alrite i have 13 new hatchlings (veiled) so far and this would be my first set. they all seem healthy maybe just a little on the "premi" side but all seem to be doing well. i am wondering when i should start implementing the calcium powder to the fruit flies?
