L002 questions

Post by Pleconoob »

I believe I have 2 males and 1 female.
However when I put caves in they all took a cave each
Do females enter empty caves? Or only males?
Maybe all 3 of them are males. I'm not sure.
Please help.
Really want to know if I have all males

Put up some pics if you can.

They may just be hiding.

If you can catch them and take a look at them. The Back to Nature Guide by Ingo Seidel has a good picture of a male and female in it. I have a group of 12 and most of mine are hiding in caves but only a few exhibit the male hanging out of the cave or fanning while releasing their pheromones. Once you get somepics I'm sure everyone will be able to help you sex them.
