Dubia roach aborting or airing ooth?

I recently got a second bin it is larger then the first one with 2 heat pads on it. They all seem active inside the bin. I think it is warm enough. But I saw one of the females with her ooth sticking I'd say a couple centimeters out. I was just wondering if that means she may be aborting it? Airing it out or what? Or is that normal? They are all eating, pooping and actively moving around within the bin. What could be some of the reasons for abortion if that is what that means when it slightly sticks out?

 
This is normal as long as she sucks it back in the same day. They rotate the egg sac which is normal and you see almost the entire sac stick out. If she aborts it you will see it drop onto the ground.
