Well you for start . As to backbone, I think I've had enough running battles on here of which you are al too aware. If the cap fits wear it. Maybe a nice SS one.

Happy New Year to all, May 2009 be a good year.

use a heat bulb on them, and provide loads of greens, no pestacides! if you sling in a tupperwarebox or peat they may even breed!

Maybe just buy a box more than normal and try keeping just those ones alive for a couple of weeks to get your confidence up.

You have to keep them really warm, like 35C with a light bulb, and always provide fresh greens like dandelions. Make sure there are no pesticides on it first
