Marlene Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I have a B. Dubia nymph that shed about four days ago and, well, I'll just show you the picture. I've been keeping my eye on this nymph and am now trying to take pictures of it every day. It has been this way for, at least, 3 days. Well, 3 days ago is when I started to take pics of it, but I noticed it a few days prior to that. Is this something that I should be concerned about that may affect the rest of my colony? Or is he just a "fluke"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlene Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well, Ken the Bug Guy has informed me that it could just be a miscoloured molt I really hope it stays that way, but i know it wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I had an adult roach that was softer than normal and took nearly 5 days to fully harden and gain color. I fed him banana-orange baby food and seperated him for a day just to make sure he would eat. He ate and days later was fully hardened and fit right in.

Keith Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I had 2 dubia that had this happen, I heard it was from not enough humidity and bad molt. Well, with proper diet and humidity the nymphs each molt fixed themselves and looked more and more normal each molt. The only noticeable difference they both were almost black coloring not the usual tan-brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
