>I’ll be using an incubator for the first time this year and was thinking about directly introducing virgins in this way after marking them.  Your post has me thinking perhaps it would be safer to use a cage.  I’m open to comments from others on the list who may have a preferred method for introducing virgins.

i have had good success using the ammonium nitrate method I learned from Juanse. Check the archives. It's a one stop method that you do once and then leave the nuc alone for 3 weeks. I got about 80 - 85% with this method.
