One escaped dubia?

[Jamiedog]

I had one dubia roach escape into the viv tonight. I was feeding them out of a bowl, and Wave managed to kick one out with her back foot. It was a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny one, and promptly disappeared into the confines of the cage.

Now, I know crickets can't be left in because they'll have a sleeping beardie midnight snack. Should i worry about the same with a roach? I searched for a good 15 minutes, but no luck. If Wave sees it, it's dessert - she never turns down a roach - but I don't want to risk that if it could be dangerous to her. Should I keep searching, or let it be? (Cage cleaning is going to be tomorrow anyway, but... paranoia.)

It should be ok. I have just let mine go in the viv, and I know spike doesn't eat them all. He has never had any problems with little roach bites.

Thanks. That does make me feel better.

Should be ok. I wouldn't let them stay in there on purpose of course.

Roaches won't chew on your bearie.

Gooooood, that makes me feel better. Thanks. all!

They're too expensive to waste on letting them do that! :wink:

(Still have seen no sign of it. Wave probably found it. I've never seen her pass up a roach.)
