OK so I am still a new Dubia colony owner. 2 nights ago I was moving some egg flats around trying to find some small feeders. and found 3 "Sacks" attached to the egg flats. I was excited thinking that my colony was about to take off... but last night I couldn't find the sacks, and there were 3 dead adult female roached in the bin, all 3 with holes in the bottom/back of their abdomen where the sacks come out (I only know this because I saw one laying a sack)
Am I doing something wrong here??
I read they these roaches were supposed to carry the sack until they were ready to come out? So if all 3 mothers are now dead, what will happen to these sacks?
Also, stupid question... Safe to assume that the white roaches are fresh from molting right?? Hadn't noticed it before, initial reaction to my wife was "Look, an albino roach!" lol and she still didn't look! (She's not so happy about these little guys)
My temps are right, humidity should be good now...
