I personally hate warm weather, today I broke out in a heat rash because it doesn't agree with my body. But one thing I do love about warm weather is my reptiles grow and eat like crazy, but so do my insects! I have put a halt on selling because of the need to let my colonies grow and stabilize (therefore I didn't repost my ad), but my colonies are growing much faster than expected, my dubias have a huge amount of nymphs that are close to turning into breeders (yays!) and I have new nymphs being born every week. Of course I am feeding everyone like crazy, because the heat skyrockets in the garage even with almost all heat sources turned off, and so they need lots of healthy water sources. Thankfully I have lots of healthy things to feed not only that I buy locally but also growing in my backyard. My super worm beetles are super active, I have caught tons of mating behaviors and expect eggs/larvae within a couple weeks. My isopod colony is already growing to the point where I need to go and get more oak to feed the isopod dried leaves. I also need to add more soil (which I am blooming some coco fiber now) and I will be fluffing it with some moss since they've destroyed most of that too. The colony will explode with some new untouched soil. Those stick nymphs you got @laurie have grown to a size where you might not have to raise many of them for long at all and a lot should be able to be fed off immediately from the looks of things. OMG they are growing. My single adult female is doing relatively well still, I am babying her by misting the enclosure and specifically her twice a day if not more depending on the heat levels and they cooled nicely for a bit and a lot to drink. I almost have around six or so nymphs who are almost adults when just 5 days ago they had two molts to go until they reached this size. I have never seen everyone grow this fast o.o Happy babies <3
