Problems - Blatta lateralis/Shelfordella tartara

[Phalagorn]

Blatta lateralis/Shelfordella tartara says to be one of the most productive cockraches, I haven´t noticed it in my breeding group? Help! All the eggs are eaten all the time, why? I also try to take the eggs (about 100) and keep them separately in 2 container, one dry and one with little higher humidity... But nothing happens, just 5-10 of them develops

Whats the temp and what do you feed them?

Not sure about eating the eggs, not something I've witnessed. Are the getting a good protien source?
As for humidity they definitely like it. I keep my container dry and harvest the egg cases twice a week. I have a container filled with damp peat. The lid of the container has most of it cut out and window screening hot glued over the hole. This container is in with the rest of the colony. I put the egg cases on top so they get lots of humidity but aren't sitting on the peat itself. When the babies hatch they are free to roam the container with the others. Seems to be working well .
Any egg cases that I don't collect just shrivel up.

25-28 C. I feed with, cat/dog-food, apples, bananas, and pasta.

Do you have a picture of the container?

I kept mine as dubia, bone dry and only veggies to eat in room temp. They bred like hell

I find the key is not to heat from under the tank but from the side as soon as I did this reproduction rates skyrocketed

You mean just B. Lateralis or for all roaches?
