Matttoadman Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 So I keep finding empty ootheca that have been clearly eaten or gone all together. They have plenty of food at all times. Fish flakes, oats, potato flakes, cat food and dog biscuits. Fresh veggies and fruits given a few times a week. Kept on a thin layer of coco fiber with bark and dead oak leaves. Suggestions?

Hisserdude Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 How humid are you keeping them? Blattids sometimes snack on ooths when they are kept too dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People often have trouble with lats eating their ooths, or the ooths just don't hatch, and a lot of the time this is because the humidity is too low.

vfox Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Throw some hydrated sphagnum moss in there and you'll be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
