Shaky Madagascar Hissing Roach

[Zman181]

For the past week or so, I have come across Hissers which are shaking and walking very fast and falling upside down only to do it all over again. I have also have many babies upside down. At first I thought they where molting (not the case). I don't know what i am doing wrong. I keep them at 90 degrees, egg crate, dog/cat dry food. Provide them with a water dish with pebbles, fresh fruit and veggies daily and no substrate. Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have tried to include a video but am unable to for some reason.

Might be heat stress. I don't see anything too abnormal in the vid; looks like a normal hisser trying to climb out.
If you see adults (not nymphs) shaking, particularly males, it's probably mating related. I have seen adult male Eublaberus sp., Archimandrita tesslata, and Blaberus giganteus vibrating and running about wildly when there's a freshly molted female. I've never seen any hisser species do it though.

Thanks. These are all nymphs. That same roach in video is on it's back trying to flip over and when I put it flips on it's back. The whole Heat Stress makes alot of sense. I also thought that may be a cause for this.

How humid is their enclosure? Sounds like Fungi infection
