Today when I woke up it was like Christmas, all four of my shipments came in
One of which being my mixed 500 dubias!
Unfortunately, when I opened up my roaches and moved them into my feeder bin, I noticed many of them on their backs. One of these little monster, I examined, had his head bitten off. But the others seem perfectly fine. Some of them look pretty meaty, and the others are a tiny bit thin. But I can't tell whether they are (hopefully) playing dead and will eventually snap to it or not? Some of them have moved their legs a little, but for the most part they are laying on their backs looking dead.
This is the problem with half of my roaches, the other half is acting normal and healthy either hiding in my crates or eating/drinking. What do you think? I feel like I've wasted my money and got really excited for these roaches to come in for no reason.
I'm guess I'm going to give the back-bugs some time to hopefully redeem themselves and then I guess pull them out and try to feed them to my beardies and throw them away if they won't eat them. Whatchya think? Has this ever happened to you?
P.S. Is it alright that I still try to feed my beardies insects even if they are dead? Sometimes they eat it, sometimes they don't.
