Hisserdude 887 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yesterday morning I checked my Rabdoblatta formosana cage to find a half eaten aborted ooth. I left it in there, assuming the roaches would eat the rest. Right now I checked the cage and there are babies coming out of the ooth! Not nymphs from another litter, these ones are still white and seem to be pushing themselves out of the ooth. I am quite surprised, I was under the impression that aborted ooths don't stand a chance, I guess I was wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hisserdude 887 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I suppose so, I'm just glad they hatched before they all got eaten! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Allpet Roaches 144 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hisserdude that is very unusual. Life, uh, finds a way. Sounds like a Jurassic Park quote. Nobody sees the irony of that line (every last dinosaur is extinct). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 887 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well, unfortunately they never left that stage, they are all unresponsive, and have probably died. I wonder why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Salmonsaladsandwich 16 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Maybe they became infected when the other eggs were damaged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
