E.posticus wing biting

[Wolverine]

Well have been feeding my orangeheads dog food lately. Have been under them impression that wing biting is caused by lack of moisture. My colony was given an overflowing dish of water crystals every other day and still lots of biting. Switching back to fishfood with the Eublaberus genus will post back if I see a reduction in biting. How many species in this genus are cultured in the US? Already have the orangeheads and the ivories, but want them all lol very awesome roaches!

Yes over-crouding could be thought as stressful and cause wing biting... more space could help

Yeah I bite my wings too. Well switched back to fish food boy were they happy. They have lots of room and substrate. Going to keep checking on them daily. Thx

4; E. posticus, E. distanti, E. sp. "White", and E. sp. "Pantanal". My favorite genus by far; I really wish we had more. ):
