I bought 6 adult female roaches and 6 adult male roaches towards the end of january of this year, and i knew that buying that little amount would result in a slow colony, but as of today while cleaning out the tank, only 21 were of "adult" sizes. the rest were babies, and there were only about 30 babies. There weren't any dead bodies, and i feed them water crystals and cheerios, or oranges when i have them, cause i know it gets them excited. but it seems like they're growing super slow, and i'm not getting any new babies. Is this normal? I kind of expected to be at like 300 roaches by now and stop having to buy crickets, cause they die 4 days after i buy them every time.
