Dead adults. : (

[likebugs]

In the past few days I have been finding dead Pycnoscelus surinamensis adults in my culture. I am finding a couple every day. I am not sure if it is my husbandry or if the roaches were just old.

Is there a way that I can tell if an adult roach is old?
I started finding them dead after I fed them some steamed brocolli, but I am not sure if that is coincidence. I won't be feeding my roaches any more steamed brocolli because I found out that it stinks for a while afterwards. :blink:

If it's only the adults it may be old age. Sometimes adults that shouldn't die yet succumb to a combination of poor conditions and older age.
