O i just stick the heat pad to the side with the tape stuff it comes with?
What?
I dont know much but if you think they might escape it think you can put baby powder in the walls and they will slide down. That is what people do with antsSo i unboxed my big breeders. I have some question.
1: How humid?

3: I saw a freaking baby climbing up the wall a bit??? Will it be able to escape?
What breed of roaches did u get? I keep mine around 60-75% , heat pad placement can be tricky, you dont want them to get over heated,the babies will climb but they’ll want to stay in the bin, if a couple escape dont worry they wont infest ur house, be shure to offer fresh veg to them, the female roaches need protein to produce bebes, the water crystals expand like 20x (just add water) dont use em allSo i unboxed my big breeders. I have some question.

Why? Is it something i was doing wrong
Haven't gotten my breeders yet, but I'm thinking my reaction will be the same as yours. hahahaha Skybug showed me some pics and yearh, yikes! I didn't realize how big they actually got!
What all are you doing to care for them show me pics of the bin and we’ll go from there, i keep mine in a large bin I probably have 200? Im about to have a boom aswell 100 of those are about to molt to their adult selves, i offer very basic veggies, carrot , potato (this previously sprouted in the bin and i left it in there) romaine lettuce, broccoli (for its proteins) , be cautious adding fruit, they mold quickly (You do not want mold) , i have sand about half an inch on one side of the bin and i mist there (dont mist the cardboard they climb on-mold) on the other side i have 2 inches of sterile dirt from a package,egg crates, toilet paper/paper towel rolls and any other cardboard i can get(they eat the glue in the layers they love it) i put all of these in kinda a lean-to type style up against the wall , i put all the food in a dish underneath the structure, check the food every day and remove any nasty bits left over and remove dead roaches aswell.
Its likely you did have some older studs that were out of their prime but your females should not be dying, I would try to replicate my setup as close as you can, no you dont need soil for your type of roaches (but you could still do sand/perlite/vermiculite) (i have discoid) im doing a bioactive setup for mine with other bugs aswell. Keep the water crystals in a bottle cap or something with a lip, and keep them juicy.
Man this is why I love this forum
