Guest Clint Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 About 6 years ago, I purchased 2 rhino nymphs. They were a male and female. I have been lucky to to have gotten a litter of at least 7 youngsters, born about 5 months ago. My problem is that my adult original male seems to have disappeared. I have not done a really exhaustive search of the substrate for fear of causing stress, but I have looked twice, yet cannot find him. Could he have been eaten by the others ? Has anyone seen this behavior with Rhinoś ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allpet Roaches 120 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Adults will eat very tiny babies under some conditions but a big one getting eaten is unheard of. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone seen this behavior with Rhinoś ? I agree with the above user. It’s not uncommon for smaller or weaker nymphs to get eaten, but I have never heard of an adult being eaten by a litter/ other adult. Hopefully he is just hiding and will return to the surface soon. Many other people have individuals in their colony that like to scare them too, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
