Keith Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've got old roaches, possibly a little over 2 years old. I noticed the end of there legs are just falling off now, I assume from old age, i've seen it happen the legs were not bitten off. Is there anything I can feed them that may make the legs stronger?

Allpet Roaches Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 The tarsi of old insects fall off, it's a common sign of old age for them. Healthier animals will last longer without damage but there's nothing they can eat after-the-fact that will strenghten the exoskeleton.

Keith Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ok thanks. They still get around great even with the lost limbs, and have plenty to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
