hi all,
A while ago I purchased a starter colony of Byrsotria fumigata with a view to breeding for use as livefood. However in the time I had them I did not notice any mating activity or any nymphs so I gave up an ideas of breeding and began feeding the adults to some of my larger tarantulas. Today however I noticed a small nymph in with the remaining three females and one adult male. Is there not likely to be any more nymphs? I was expecting there to be a larger brood size than just the one.:? I was also wondering whether I could keep these in with giant millipedes to save a bit of space or will they eat young millipedes? Are there perhaps any other roach species I could keep in with them as well?
