Looking after the Giant Weta nymphs
Busy times looking after the Giant Weta nymphs (young). We look after almost 30 nymphs and 8 adults.
Busy times looking after the Giant Weta nymphs (young). We look after almost 30 nymphs and 8 adults. The nymphs hatched in last January and they are still not much larger than the width of your thumb. They seem to be happy and you start to notice the difference in the size of them, the females will grow a lot larger than the males.
We are building new enclosures for the wetas, we will need them in the summer when more eggs will hatch.
The females nymphs are slightly larger than the males
Greens for the wetas spread out
Getting the jars ready. The nymphs are separated as they can eat each other
