Breeding Dubia.

[jovamabob]

I won an ebay auction the other day and now have two small breeding colonies of Dubia Roaches to feed Hige. Each Colony has 11 females and 1 male (i intend to possibly put 1 more male in each tub if i need to and add to the amount of females maybe later on). The colonies i got are already breeding and it has been 1 day since they arrived. I read that these are live bearers but a female is doing something that looks like laying an egg sack. If she is do i need to remove these once she's dropped it or do i leave them be?
Some photo's i caught:

Leave them. Each sack is called an ootheca. The female lays the ootheca then it will pick up the ooth and reinsert it into it's cavity to develop. ~30 days later 20-30 nymphs will be delivered live.
