Amazing Nature Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Has anyone ever dealt with a 'stuck' ooth or if they can 'abort' a damaged one without dying? Anybody know how long orange domino roaches (t. regularis) carry an ooth? I'm trying to figure out when I should begin to worry I had 5 roaches from nymphs-result 3 male and 2 female as of last week 2 female recently both had an ooth sticking out- but then-both unlaid ooths were eaten to halfway point of females 'rear end' one female died-2 days ago- the other still has half eaten ooth sticking out So What to do? can I/should I even try to VERY GENTLY pull it out? since she will most likely die (based on the fact the other female did 2 days ago) also someone helpfully suggested perhaps it was to dry or lack protein in my other post (because some legs were chewed/and molting nymphs attacked) but they get dead mealworms and dog kibble for protein and dead wood and leaves-and banana-blueberries-(which they eat) and carrots (they never touch the carrots) so I'm stopping using them and its def not to dry? -temps-fluctuate 72-80f and humidity accordingly 40-80% if anything to humid at times? I also mist surface leaves and see them drink on occasion but only every 2-3 days-because I get white fuzz on food when very humid -I have them in temp controlled small restroom for heat/humidity because I'm in Midwest and its cold now and have to pull fruit and dog food at 2 days because of mold- I also have a small fan cycling on low for half hour every 2 hours to move air/I put a screen top-every other 1-2 days then put regular lids back on for same amount of time-substrate is very lightly compressible/moist -like almost totally dried coffee grounds the very top surface is drier and has leaves covering it note: my white dominos are fine in the same exact size bin/setup its the orange ones thanks anybody/everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
