something ate my babies!!

only four remain strong, two in each bucket. I hope at least two of them are female!!!

I raised them up above the water level and placed an aquarium on top of them in anticipation of the rain we're supposed to get the next couple days.

does anyone have an easy, organic bug repelent made from common kitchen ingredients? it must have been bugs cuz these are located in the middle of a swamp. (no rodents)
