Just curious if you have grain mites in a bin while feeding a dry roach chow and then switch over to a pure veggie fruit diet will this kill off the grain mites being that they don't have any grain to feed/ breed on?

Ok so a little update I am in my room now assessing the colony for the day and I am pleased to say non have died today! I gave them new carrots and also some cherrios and they seem to really like the cherrios! The cherrios have 3% protein which isn't much but it is some! If they continue to...

Ok so then we have to figure out what is the issue then? I talked to a big dubia breeder and he doesn't think the acid is the source of the issue. He thinks probably a combination of age of the adults paired with poor shipping is going to be a big factor. I just hope I can get stuff to settle in...

This is only the third day that I have had them it's hard to believe malmurishment is killing them already?

I heard that high protein can cause gout though?

Ya I just took all the roaches out of the room then vacuumed the boric acid out then cleaned the entire room cleaned a bin took everything out then used new egg cartons, and put the roaches into a clean bin. I just hope they make it...

Now the question is if it is the boric acid is it even possible to save them or is everything already done for?

Hmmm alright I am raising them as feeders and I want them to be as healthy as possible... I just wanted to remove as many variables as possible ya know? I just want everything to do the best it can and I didn't want any parasites or anything to get in with them. From what I have read is that the...

Also why is it affecting mainly the adults? I'm losing hardly any nymphs which you would think would be the first to be affected due to the fact that it would take far less boric acid to dehydrate and kill a nymph vs and adult?

I am using a powder so I figured it would be ok? The boric acid is a crystal that is really sharp and can penetrate their exoskeleton which causes them to dry out and die from my understanding of it? I figured it would be ok and it would keep my roaches from getting any unwanted visitors. Like...

Ok guys so I need some help here. I started with a group of 20 adults and one baby and I was losing about one adult every two days? One or two females had babies and they all did fine. I got a little spoked by the death rate so I killed the entire colony and started over completely new. I...

LQs are not for scorp begginers. You should not start with a LQ. There is no need for it at all. LQs is the most poisonous species of scorps. There is nothing in a LQ that you can't get from another species that wont kill you if you get tagged.

No, nobody likes cross breeds, so no body breeds cross breeds cross breeds. Extremely old thread anyway.

It is not recomended that you hold him due to the high level of stress that can be placed on him, and the possibilities of a fall that can result in injury or death. If you were to hold him, which I do not recomend, give him at least a week to settle down. Then you will place your hand on the...

Ya they can be extremely aggressive.

Nope just in general.

I would agree that it is not H. Spadix for sure, the body isn't dark enough for that.

I would say Handrurus Arizonensis. The body is way to dark colored to be a Smeringurus Mesaensis.

I would like to see some pictures of that! Catfishrod- I do know how to ship fish, but I don't think these are too hard to get ahold of?

Which is not good at all. I will through Hadogenes Troglodytes out there too, because from my understanding these are on the rarer side of things too, but correct me if I am wrong? I know mine are both wild caught, and I only know of one other guy who has a wild caught female. So any info or...
