hello,

im having problems with my dubia's.

i got them in a plastic storage container with egg crate's.i always make sure that they have water crystal's and feed them about twice a week.at first i thought it might be to cold in there at 70+ degrees.i bought a heat pad and the guage now reads 90 degrees.

im starting to think i need more humidity.humidity in my home is around 50%,which i thought was enough.

anyway,im loosing around two roach's a week out of around 40 or so.

any idea's???????thanks

Hey, i don't actually have them but i hear males are relativly short lived and you may find carcasses.

Increase humidity and feed them every other say, misting the cage helps with molting.
