Dubia stuck ootheca

[Sooner]

Should I feed her off or will she eventually drop it?? It's been stuck in her for at a week now.

Feed her off. It looks dried up and stuck, she will probably die anyways. Just my opinion though.

This is fixable. A deformed ootheca was produced and the female hasn't recognized that it is deformed or it is stuck. You can gently pull it out, doing so steadily. If you pull too fast and too hard you will rip out the birth pouch.
