I used to do this every week. I found if I drip acclimated them over about twelve hours I got the best survival rates, but even then 5-10% croaked, then they'd survive about two weeks, no matter what the conditions, and then all die. ------------- Murray, Utah just north of the park.

Ditto. I've tried acclimating over several hours (not 12) and they die within 24-48 hours. My mantis eats them anyway
