Pikango Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 One of my roaches is producing her ootheca. It's not all the way out right now. A few days ago I introduced a new colony of isopods to the roaches' tank. I've read that the isopods can threaten the ootheca...should I move the mama roach to another container? How long should I keep the young roaches away from their colony? I have a couple pics here, one shows the container I'm moving her over to...the only issue is all the slits it has on the lid. I worry the babies will get out if I keep them in there, and that they are less likely to in t he bigger one since I have some methods of securing it. Any thoughts?

AmateurEntomologist Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 The ootheca will be formed and retracted back into the body, no need to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If she aborts the ootheca the isopods will chew on it but they aren't the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
