ring 0800 tenancy tomorrow and tell them whats going on,sounds too long to me.

also in the bird world alot of hybrids are often sterile.I doubt if this will be the case with turtles but not impossible.

saw those 2 frogs in pond having a piggy back this afternoon,must be springtime?

feed them well and give a good laying spot,they will go every three weeks,you can almost set your watch by them.If they don`t have what they think is ideal conditions they can hold them back till they want??

what planet is this "christchurch" place on?

I guess thats what happens when you only have one half of the required pair and money making is your prime concern,not that hard to figure out?

only if its severely embarrassed?

heard a rumour? that all hers got drowned in the manawatu floods??Don`t quote me on this!as stated I heard a rumour?

you are missing one of the vital ingredients,ie female herman`s of breeding age,not quite as hard to find as rocking horse poos,but almost???

I think the coffees already been consumed???

28 - 32 max for egg hatching?

sand should be mixed with water in a ratio 100:15 by volume.(from some technical notes I have)

careful brom`s,the second ones can just fall out?

have done both but crickets,although good when small(pinheads)for feeding young stuff were pretty much a waste of time for what you got at the end of it.They took ages to get to a decent size and also feeding of them they are pretty quick and hide in your tanks.The locusts were a breeze after a few teething probs as you are having now.Change your egg laying medium to pumice sand from garden center,vemrmiculite does work and some swear by it,does not work for me and I use what works for me! get a smaller egg cup,I use see thru throw away coffee cups in a cut out so The top is at floor level,change once a week and cover with gladwrap so you can see when they hatch.I think your prob with eggs not hatching maybe dessication of the eggs?keep them really warm 34 or so at least,at lower temps they lay less and eggs even though layed can be infertile.The other thing to watchis where you get your grass,even traces of spray can do the same.I have only knowen one sucessful cricket breeder and raiser and I got his locusts going for him and he ditched the crickets,way too slow(depending on how many you want of course.Give the locusts a dish of bran to eat as well as grass.

just put her in the deep end of your turtle tank?

bummer,unless your food source has been sprayed or your neighbours had their house treated?if its nothing that they have eaten like the paper you may be able to remove the stuff and save enough to restart,they may however still live but be sterile?

that sounds about right $40 for 40kg.Alot better than $10 for 1kg?if you have the room to store it.You could pack the excess up sell on that unmentionable place?

not too far from you mincie,head for Otaki,just south of there on the right is that hydroponics place?cheapest I have found but can`t remember exact price,a one kilo bag would not be much use to me??

friends of ours went camping years ago and woke up to find a huge huhu beetle jammed up his nosrtil!it was that far up he could not get hold of it to extract and his wife had to get it out in bits with a crochet hook,all the while she was trying to get it out he swears he could feel it knawing right up in his nostril!!true story.

they will lay every three weeks if fed well etc.they can hold them longer if they can`t find a good spot ie no land area??

some people confuse naturally flaking skin for this?even if it is fungus the salt should fix it pretty fast.

I have a dozen or so left if they are interested.(red`s)

Don`t know about that but up here we would never get spawn that late and most taddies that are not big enough to change would die over winter with the exeption of a few `2yr `tads which are alot bigger than normal ones.We only have bells mainly.Yours may be whistlers which may breed later?someone will know?

doubt if they would be this years taddies down there?maybe some 2yrs that have wintered overperhaps?

walked past my fishpond this morning and was surprised to see two frogs jump in and swim down into the leaves etc on the bottom,water is still real cold.A few more fish visible and active as well,also heard a kingfisher calling from up in the trees nearby.Maybe some more posts on here soon,been a bit quite lately.
