Only about 6 or 7 of them came from the 2 egg cases, none for quite a while now. Are they finished? Is that it? I don't know how much longer to check...

I found that I couldn't even see them until they were a few weeks old. Once they were an inch long I saw dozens of them. I think the hatch happened over a few days time. They are very tiny and the seem to hide.

You should have gotten a few hundred out of 1 egg case and they come out all at once. You could have gotten egg cases that were exposed to insecticide.

Mine took a few weeks to hit the right temperature. Then, they came pouring out one day, hundreds it seemed. Then a few days later the other egg case opened and hundreds poured out. Not an expert by far, but that's what happened for me : )

I had 2 egg cases and I got about 40-50 from each.... but some come out earlier than others... it wont hurt to keep and eye on your sacks and release them as they come out... maybe once a day or so.... otherwise they will eat each other....

I would guess at least a dozen eggs would fit. I see your point - I responded with that answer trying to be a conscientious Amazon client but you're right - next time I just won't respond.

I have a few eggs that crack once in a while. I think this is from hairline cracks we cannot see in the eggs before hand. My machine works beautifully. Hope this helps.

I hope you haveN't bought these yet. They were hugely disappointing. They were very small and it appeared the ends of tails and arms had been cut off to fit into the egg. It took the eggs forever to "hatch". After 24 hours, there was a spot of the dino visible through a little hole in the egg. My grandson became impatient and we ended up cracking the eggs open to find inferior dinos inside. To answer your question specifically, they did not get noticeably larger. Sorry. :(

They don't state where they get their ingredients on the container. They are out if Oceanside Ca and, from what I understand are very responsive to customer inquiries if emailed. Interesting question I am going to email them myself. I also read they use Carageen(sp?). I am definitely emailing them!*******UPDATE*** their customer service representative Josh responded. All ingredients are from the mid west. INCLUDING the eggs.

Maybe you did not put in enough water. The amount of water determines the doneness of the eggs.

I ordered mine later in the season, but I would think someplace cool and dry would work. I hope you love them as much as I did...I was persistent enough to get pics, both at time of hatching and a couple months later. Simply amazing!

Wait them out. Ours took a few extra weeks to hatch. But then we had a tun of them. They like to take longer then the instructions lol

Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions. (One case hatched on my dining room table overnight. I was sitting at the table and saw probably a couple hundred on my shirt, arms and plate! It was funny. I gathered them up on a sheet of paper best I could.) They are wonderful to watch. You might keep some in a terrarium, but the little guys start eating each other pretty soon. So after they hatch in the terrarium, take ' em outside and remove the lid. All mine are outside now, and occaisionally, one will stop by and say "hello"., a little bigger than before. Have fun!Tom Marilyn, I purchased five praying mantis egg cases a few weeks ago, and I placed them in my vegetable gardens. They all hatched and there for a while I had zillions.

I got one of those green plastic things too! Couldn't figure it out, looked up the backpack on the HDP website and it said nothing about it. THEN, today I was looking on Amazon for something else and came across what I think is the answer.........its......................an...........................egg poacher....look at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA1H0OUUHoY----------- have NO clue why it was in this backpack (maybe some one in the warehouse messing around?).... Really strange that I've been obsessed with making the perfect poached egg and happened to see it on Amazon!...LOL

Mine took a month, still waiting on two to hatch. Maybe temp outside ?. Tiny ants got to one of the two yet to hatch. Waiting to see what happens with that one. Good luck !

I have the same issue, it would be nice to receive a replacement egg pan. i also asked if there were replacement parts available. no answer to date / I did clean off the bubbles and the pan still works.

I'm still confused about the number of eggs. The question was: "How many eggs will this hold?". Nothing was asked about each side, so to me that meant 'total'. Some of you are posting '2' and then one person states '2 per side'. So, how many eggs will this hold? 2 or 4?
