ok, so ive got three babies that are a couple months old. one is a month older than the other two, and hes about twice as big as the biggest of the other two. of the two youngest, my female just hasnt grown as quickly as the purple male that was born on the same day. my first question: because of the size difference between them, would it be dangerous to put the two youngest in with the oldest? would it be dangers to put the babies in with adults? will the adults cannibalize? seeing as the smallest one is about the size of a large cricket, and i sometimes offer my adult phantasticus large crickets, should i worry? ive been keeping them apart for some time now, but i would at least like to put the females (juvies and adults) together when it becomes possible. its just that ive got 4 tanks with phantasticus in my room right now. 1 with my sick female, 1 with my two new ones, 1 with the oldest juv. and 1 with the youngest ones. id like to free up room and these guys are still tiny!

you should put them with the one that is a month older than the other babies and see how it goes out and you shouldnt feed the adluts anything bigger than there head also at least wait until the babies are at 5 to 6 months of age hope i've helped

yea, thats pretty much what i figured. ive been planning on keeping them separated at least until they arent quite so bite-sized. im keeping my male that is a month older than the other two separated from the two other babies for now because his tank was right near the tank of my sick female, and i want to make sure if whatever she got was bacterial, it doesnt get passed to the babies.
