Hi
Apologies if these questions have been asked recently - I've had a look through old posts etc but am aware that it won't have been an exhaustive search. I have a trio of C orientalis which laid loads of eggs last year from which I have 2 little guys. A couple of questions:
1. The adults didn't lay at all this year - reading on this site, my guess is that they didn't get cold enough over winter. Is this a likely explanation and if so, how cold do they want to get and for how long?
2. The 2 juveniles are feeding pretty well on Drosophila. Is this OK as a complete diet until they need something bigger? Should I be dusting them? Or feeding something else?
Thanks!!
