[QUOTE="syzygy, post: 102031, member: 4361"] Quick update....some good, some bad One the good side my little ooth boats are working fantastic and I have a bunch of little ones On the downside I had a die off a few weeks ago that seemed to only affect my females. They had food and water so not sure what that was about. Also I rehoused my roaches on Sunday to a larger tub and found last night that I'd had a mass suicide. They (5M and 2F to be exact) must have jumped from the top of their egg crate about 4" over to a cup of water I was using to maintain humidity. They drowned. The cup was the same height as the top of the egg crate so I'd not been worried about it. Now I'm worried they could possible jump over to the 1/4" air holes I drilled around the top edge of the container. Definitely have to do a daily head count for a while. I now have 2M and 3F which is probably a better level, but doesn't give much wiggle room if I have additional issues. I'm going to transfer about a dozen of my largest juvis (which are not large at all) over to the adult housing so that I don't accidentally feed them off. I may need to also supplement with a few more adults as well so I have feeders for my 2 largest T's in the interim. I really don't want to go back to having crickets. [/QUOTE]
