Ralph Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 One of my female hissers aborted an ootheca (no idea why) a couple days ago, and she's had a translucent, off-white blob hanging out of the back of her abdomen. It's squishy and liquid-filled, and she doesn't seem to have feeling from it. What is this? Is surgery needed, and will she be able to mate again?

Allpet Roaches Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I don't think there's anything you can do. It will probably live a long life but when females become damaged in that way there's very little chance of reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh, that's too bad. At least she'll live. I have another female or two who are gravid, so I'll still be getting babies. Do you have any idea why this happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
