Nature has it all figured out. yes some will not moult completely, leading to some with damaged carapaces (sp.). All in all, most will successfully change over, breed and start the next generation. I have been breeding mealies for over 2 years now. I wanted an established colony before I got Leopards. Planned a 55 for ONE, got 4, bad shape, two lived. Hope this helps. Janie.
