Dubia roaches killing eachother
I went to feed my dubia colony today and I found a dead skeleton or 2 no meat on them just skeleton! Are they eating eachother? What am I doing wrong? Anyone know ?

Re: Dubia roaches killing eachother
I would guess so, because I don't remove them, yet I don't have a huge amount of them.

Re: Dubia roaches killing eachother
They will cannibalize each other, but generally only if food is in short supply. If you found a complete (or mostly so) exoskeleton with no contents, then, as BB said, you found a molt.
Make sure they have a source of protien in their diet too.
