They were very small. I took them all out.

I have a 70 watt infrared heat emitter, and water crystals. The humidity, and temp are exactly where they need to be.
I have baby ones dying (By 'baby ones' I mean the smaller roached I got in my shipment.. I haven't had any nymphs yet.), and now they are looking a little sluggish around my water dish. (crystals)

I feed them a healthy cat food, orange, apple, carrots, and organic cereal (similar looking to cherrios). I change the food every two days. Sometimes the carrots come out looking a little grey due to heat, but no signs of mold.
They go crazy over all of it, and they are having constant molting.

Should I dechlorinate the water, and then put the ice crystals in?
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I had a similar issue happen, thread link

Turned out to be some cleaner bugs. Nothing serious. Hopefully my thread i posted above answers any questions :) I was freaked out first time I saw them


Also I would check out this thread twobeardieguy (lance) is the dubia know it all (and I mean that kindly, he's awesome to work with/ ask advice to) about any colony questions

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
