stanislas Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Most fungi won't harm cockroaches. So probably it isn't a real problem for the roaches. You could add springtails as they eat mold or try to reduce moisture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbrit17 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Ok, I've already stopped misting twice a day, so I'll see if that works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbrit17 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Things continue to mold! I'm boiling their log today and setting it out for a few days....to make sure it's totally dry. I'm cleaning and replacing a layer of substrate. And water....should I take out the water bowl and let them get moisture from the fruit. Expect I can't tell if theyre eating anything..Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomjoe Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I would remove the water bowl at least for now and let them get it from the fruit. You can always put it back in if you want after things dry up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbrit17 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ok....sounds good, what about them eating, I'm not sure that they're eating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomjoe Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 They just don't eat as much as you would think unless you have lots of them. You could remove all there current food and put new food in, in a day or two if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
