But what do we do ? stop buying them , or persist until someone comes up with the magic formula, lots of species were once thought impossible, I feel someone will crack the pills soon. Maybe you Rick !
Good luck

Laughing I doubt it.

I agree never give up!

I have kept pedes for almost a year, some that require for survival a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms and parasites , these seem to still be thriving and doing well. I mix calcium powder into the substrate and use Bug Bed as a substrate that has all the rotting wood, leaves etc in it. I never let the substrate dry out. These are kept at quite high temps and in quite damp conditons.

The pills are living in the air con temperate frog house to keep them at a constant cool temp. We can but see.
