Meowmix,
Most N American mantids require a cold period to induce hatching. My suppliers put them in the fridge for a few weeks before selling them. I believe they cool them for 4-6 weeks to simulate a winter diapause. After the chill, return them to mid 80's and you should have nymphs in 10-14 days.
