Andrea,
I have put in the packets early too, with no real harmful effects.
Some times the sea monkeys are so tiny that you can't see them. Be
patient. It took me a while to figure out which was which, but once
you see a baby sea monkey swimming around it is so neat! You'll
always recognise a baby after that. Keeping the tank warm is a key at
this time of year. room temperature is best, but do try to keep them
warm in th ewinter. A North facing window or a brightly lit room is
best to get babies to hatch. I read that they may hatch better in a
armer brighter room, temp bing 75* is good. Hope this helps.
Willa

before 24 hrs were up (oops) and I am not sure if they are alive or
not...it looks like something is moving in the water every once in a
while, but how long does it take for them to be more visible? Is
there any way to get the unhatched eggs to hatch? THANKS
