Hi, unfortunately my emp is eating her babies. I just recently relocated my collection to a dedicated cabinet so I could more easily maintain proper heat and humidity. A few days after I moved them, I noticed my emp had a baby on her back and one in her mouth. Her burrow is against the glass on the bottom corner, so I can peek in without disturbing her much.
I checked back on her today and I noticed a dead one on the floor of the burrow and another one in her mouth.
The Temps are around 86 during the day and 75 at night. Substrate is coco fiber kept moist.
The only thing I can think is maybe the burrow is not big enough and when she moves the babies get pushed against the ceiling of the burrow and killed or pushed off. I'm pretty stressed out about it as I've been looking forward to raising these little guys. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
