crickey, ive only seen them albino's in books, your lucky they are far more nutritional
The adult males are the long shiny ones, the adult females have wings.
You can also tell the sex at a young age as the females have a much wider girth than the males
Thats how I thought they were sexed, If that is not correct please fill me in on how to sex them correctlyur joking right, im pretty sure they all have wings once theyre adults,....
a bottle of fluron will last a life time. worth it to me
thats all you need, i dont bother placing a plate down for the food, i just throw it in the bottom, i wasnt aware brian wasnt doing the woodies anymore that will leave a gap in the market
Yes he is Jeannine
Quick question, and may sound liek a stupid one.
Which woodies should i try and keep in there to "breed"?
The grey ones with wings? or the black/brown large ones?
Which are the female and male? lol
I dont think i bought enough to start a collony so might run down shop and buy couple more tubs.
yeah thanks, I was readin up about them the other day and found that out, I guess I was ill informedBoth males and females have wings when adults - can't tell the difference. The huge ones without wings are simply preadults. You cannot sex younger ones at all - the wider ones have empty bellies and the longer thinner ones are full.
Take some long thing young ones and put them in a container with no food for a week or two and they soon become flat wide ones.
Be patient, make sure they are warm, also give them some sort of dry food like cat biscuits or rodent pelletsI just dont think mine are breeding! lol
How long does it normaly take? I try and see some small woodies or the "live young" but nothing.. all the egg cartons just have small bits of poop everywhere lol.
feeding them, bits of bok choy, carrot and bits of apple.. seem to be eating that with no probs, clean it out every 2 days (the food that is)
Any thoughts?
Seem to be loosing numbers rather then gaining lol
