Hey everyone, so, I have had a small bin of lateralis roaches for a while and kept them with soil. It became dirty and problematic, but I knew that the ooths were hatching.
I later turned that bin into a bare-bottom bin, and noticed that the hatch-rate went down noticeably. Or at least I have not noticed any young in a while.
I ordered a new batch of roaches, and then moved them into another bare-bottom bin, twice the size. The current setup includes those two round patches of coco coir where I move any ooths I find to increase the humidity, is also where the heat mat is. All the roaches tend to hang off the ventilation from there. Still haven't noticed any new young, though I saw broken (or hatched?) ooths.
So my question is, am I doing anything wrong or should I just go ahead and wait a bit longer? I periodically feed fish flakes/pellets, and carrots or potatoes, they don't seem to care for greens like salad etc. I don't think I've properly seen tiny roaches ever since the original setup.
