Bobby and Fiona are the two I have currently. I will be breeding them and when I have 25-30 nymphs in their 5th molt, they will be ant food. (The nymphs not Bobby and Fiona)

This is a neat idea. Earwigs are loved by all my ants. Can you describe how you're keeping them?

Just little containers with moist eco-earth.

Welp. Fiona finally laid her eggs, but, Bobby and Jessica got into her container (they are stackable bead containers) after she laid, and.... She killed them... :*(

Well, Bobby is still alive! And Fiona's eggs have hatched! There are 20-30 nymphs. when they are old enough I will put them in the larger nymph nursery, and breed her again.
