Okay so I went to check on my dubia roach colony about 10 minutes ago to find them all dead. All 57. I don't check on them everyday, the last thing I did was give them some food. I gave them half a strawberry,a few blueberries, banana, a grape tomato, and some lettuce. Just about all of their food (which I did wash before hand) was untouched except the banana suggesting that they must have died soon after I fed them a few days ago. I had them in a little tuber ware container on ecoearth bedding. Does anyone know what killed them? Truth be told I didn't have ventilation holes but it never was a problem before with them :/ their bedding was moist and the only mold I noticed was on the strawberry when I checked a few minuets ago. Could it have been pesticide from the fruit? I didn't have cleaning products anywhere near them ever. Lack of ventilation? I did find one roach that appeared to have been dead a little while longer than the others, could his decay have killed them?
Could it be at all safe to feed them to my lizard? Their bodies are pristine without any visual decay or mold, and I would be absolutely angry if they went to waste after I killed them with my stupidity. I put them in the freezer for now...
I'm so angry with myself I could cry right now
All 57 roaches just died
