hey this is my thread!!! just kiddin...
anyways, I'll try increasing my air exchange... I really think that's what it might be...
Are there ways to increase air exchange in a perlite terrium without increasing the fanning or cutting holes into the terrium???

(LOL) I see... question number two, Why do you asume all aborts have rotten caps ? They do if you don't pick them on time you know, well i guess it has to do with how experienced you are distinguishing an abort or a growing pin, i always eat aborts with caps because the caps are not rotten, get it ?

I too would like to know if anybody has an answer to BoB's question, as nearly cycle I have done so far I've had at least 70% of my cakes produce a LOT of aborts....

Well, naturally! If the abort's cap hasn't blackened, it's NOT rotten yet. That's obvious, but beginners wait 'til they're black to be sure they're aborts. In that case you must not eat the black caps. I know from my short experience that if you pick them when they've still got some brown left, just a gray ring or gray top with a brown ring, then you CAN eat the cap. What I meant was, IF THE CAP'S BLACK DON'T EAT IT!

hey CD your problem may be that you play w/ the cakes too often. If you find yourself checking them several times a day this could cause them to abort, plus and this is just a suggestion fo real proof behind it, when you are fanning don't fan like you're trying to achieve flight. This removes humidity and the terrarium has to start building up again. just remove the top and lightly fan once and that's it. You probably don't even have to fan, lifting the lid of your terrarium may be enough. just some suggestions.

I think most will agree with me when I say that aborts are mostly caused by changes in optimum environmental conditions. If you have perfect humidity and temp and then all of the sudden something goes out of wack (like fanning to the point of 30% reduction in humidity) pins may abort. Something to think about
