Thanks mate yeah I hope they are as I keep eye on them every day lol write down what's changed and I've found out that they are taking in both carbbages in now which is weird as they didn't touch one of them and am trying see if any eggs but all I see is tiny larave and other day I saw new born soilder she's was lighter yellow then her sisters so looks like it's under way now I will try get pic of the fungus today but am busy today as its Christmas soon but they moved the 2nd fungus into the main and put it with the main fungus I don't no why like but they have so I've changed the 2nd tub to a waste bin tub for them which are now using it which is great as they been taking the old fungus and putting under the main fungus they dug out like a chamber under it and they are putting it there
