Mad4You2:
I currently have 32 MHD eggs, 19 of which are close to hatching. A year ago I successfully hatched out 13 babies. They all started eating and growing well, and I was soooo excited! Then, between 6-8 weeks of age, with no changes in their caging, they all stopped eating and began dying. By the 8 week mark, they had all died. An acquaintance told me that she had had the same experience....hit the wall starting at about 6 weeks.
It sounds like you have had success in getting them past this stage. Can you help me with any tricks that will make this next effort successful? You can probably best reach me via my e-mail address:
ccain@ara.com. Please help. I'd really appreciate any advice you can provide. If anyone else reads this post and has had success raising baby MHDs, please also feel free to send me your tips. Thanks.
