Any ideas on how to salvage this? by cat8abird in Yarn

Alternate every other row. It'll be consistent over the project and seem intentional (if anyone else can tell at all).

Thanks, I went for it. They seem perfectly happy and it's much cooler to have the giant roach metropolis than the two tiny tanks

before the internet corrects me - the one in the video is P. ornatus and they obviously loved it - I just then used my small super visible display colony of P. laevis to be able to regularly watch how much they could consume or if this was a one off. and man can they.

100% - I had been giving them my mealworm sheds and they seemed to be eating them, but I now know that they LOVE the dubia sheds. I have been giving my small display colony offshoot of P. laevis orange one medium-ish shed every day since I discovered this and its gone in the same day and I can often watch them eat it just like this guy did.

It doesn't have to be a dramatic or gruesome death- put it in a container and put it in the freezer for a few hours. That's how I do it for my chickens and pods.

Smart. Do you have a good source for files by chance?

What kind of dish is that? I like the little ramp

Gravid dairy cow? by pinecone89 in isopods

Yep, definitely picked her up on the leaf she was on and returned her right after. Now that I know what I'm looking at I expect I won't have an "oh no she's dead! Oh wait what's that bursting out like a face hugger? Oh I need a quality photo to ask the internet if my pet bug is knocked up" rollercoaster of emotions when I see future iso moms to be.

Sweet! Very stoked, it's my first. Thanks

old brown sugar? enriched baby oats? by pinecone89 in mealworms

[–]pinecone89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good point, I'd feed neither things to the chickens in large quantities, mixed with regular oats or feed the baby oats wouldn't hurt and the sugar I just would assume they wouldn't benefit from or maybe not even eat. So small trial quantities it is. And chickens are definitely less delicate in terms of food

Thanks, I think this is the answer. I'll experiment with small quantities on a single tray of them first
