Every time I put any food in my dubia tub, it disappears almost instantly. I put a shallow lid with roach chow in, and it disappeared overnight. I put 10 pieces of cat food in, and the next morning it was completely gone, 10 more and that was gone that afternoon. The next day I put some diced pears in, and by morning it was gone. This is a small colony I just got a few weeks ago. There are only about 60 - 70 bugs total so I don't think they are eating it that fast. Last time I cleaned their tub, I found pieces of things I put in, and lots of roach chow, that they dragged into the middle of their egg crates.
My concern about this hording activity, is when I feed them something that can rot/mold and they drag it into their crates, how can I be sure it won't harm them? I know I am not supposed to disturb them in their crates unless necessary. I can't just tear their crates apart every day and look for uneaten food.
