parkesg Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Just give them little amounts at a time until they are nice and round. No need to waste it by overfeeding (it's proven hard enough to hatch). Put the excess in the fridge, should last about 3-4days, they will eventually go bad. Wash out the hatching container before starting a new batch.

dobbin4 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 What Grant says is spoton.Little amounts often will make your fry grow fast. Great you worked it out? come on what was the change that made them hatch? They last for days even at room temp. That Litho sure had a mouthfull.
