Limicolaria Flammea hatchlings dying

[AlienSnail]

I have loads of little Limi babies of various ages, and they've been fine but are now dying off......

The adults are doing fine, sliming around and eating etc.

I was wondering how other people have raised their limis, and if I'm missing something....

Perhaps it's just the cold spell we've had, but I'm not so sure as like I say the adults are all actiove, not retracting etc.

Thanks x

Odd, I commented here and it`s gone ! mmm..... I was sure it was posted !

I kept mine in a small tub on top of the digi box cos it's toasty warm. They seemed to like it humid. ;D

[AlienSnail]

Thanks Jo

Mine are humid too, and the tub feels warm. I've never had a problem with this species before, but I've never raised the babies either....

Hmmm.

I know they are tempramental little simers. I seemd to have more trouble with iredalei babies than the limis. Fingers crossed. ;D

[AlienSnail]

Yeah, I can't get the conditions right for Iredalei, I decided not to try with those anymore, didn't want to kill any more off!!!

Thanks Jo, I'll keep you updated... x

mine repeatedly lay egs and they hatch no problem , raising the babies however is a problem ..... for me anyway ,
im guessing im not getting the conditions right but i think we have exhausted all possibilities now cos ive tried all ways with these

[AlienSnail]

Well I'm going to move mine today to a different room, a warmer one, but to be honest I don't think it's the temperature that's causing this with mine, and as for yours -well your house is lovely and toasty Kab!
Mine are like your's hun, loads of eggs, then the same sort of story

Perhaps they don't like our respective tastes in decor, or music or something!

Hi Alien,
I had loads of problems with Lim eggs and hatchlings dying, i just couldnt seem to get them at the right temp and humidity, consequently i ended up getting rid of all my lims.
