Keith Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have a strange cockroach nymph, I think it might be a craniifer or collosus (spelling?) when it walks it suddenly stops moving and shakes furiously, it cannot walk when this happens and if you touch it won't walk or run away. A few seconds later the shaking stops and it will act normal again. At first it was near death from starvation when I got it in a shipment, but after seperating it and giving it lots of food the condition affects it less and less. What causes the shaking? Is it like rickets or a seizure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtBug Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi Keith, Did you ever figure out the shaking? Did the nymph survive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKatie329 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Would you mind giving more information about the shaking? Is it vibrating, shaking side to side, are its legs the only part shaking, I'm more curious than anything. I don't have much of an answer for you but I'm glad it is doing well now!

Keith Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 The shaking would be like if 2 people went on each side of a car and repeadedly pushed down to rock the car, except the roaches motion was so fast I felt it vibrating, it's feet were paralyzed as this was happening, and when the shaking stopped the roach acted normal.
