Thanks. The only thing I've had any problems with is keeping humidity up, stuck shed on them is a pain in the a$#. Last year, I tried critter keepers (even covering up part of the top) and a shoebox with a lid - and it was constantly drying out. This year, I tried a new method of using taller deli cups with the insect lids, using a wet paper towel to aid in the humidity and a few sticks for them to climb on. It has worked great for me thus far; no stuck sheds and animals can stay off the wet substrate. As far as feeding goes, I tried the fruit flies last year and I am not sure they even went after them. This year, I'm feeding 1/8" crickets once or twice a week. I also feed CDG a couple of times a week and have had great success. Hope it all goes well with your eggs.
