Well, after a good 5 month run, my A. avic communal has failed.
There were three 2"-3" avics inside a 12x12x12 Exo-Terra, lots of places to hide, lots of space, lots of food.
No problems until a couple of days ago.
One of them is simply vanished, leaving only a couple legs behind
He was the one in heavy premolt, so my best guess is maybe he was too vulnerable while molting and the other two ganged up and ate him, or that he didn't survive his molt (which seems unlikely) and they ate his remains (which also seems unlikely).
Should I leave them in together and wait, or just call this a failure and go ahead and separate the remaining two?
