Usually if there's an abortion you'll see a whole ootheca (a large structure made of eggs cemented together) but sometimes a few that didn't even make it that far may be seen. Even a well-constructed ootheca of that species won't survive outside the abdomen of the female (that species is live bearing).

Hello!

Keep them in a plastic box 8"x4" more or less with 2 inches of coco fiber. Keep them with 70% humidity and give them some fruits: oranges, apples..... They seem to eat a lot because you only have 3 roaches.

Best regards,

Javier.

 
It seems to me that mass/ratio-wise peppereds don't eat as much as some roaches (well, hissers for comparison). Could I just be imagining things?

 
:unsure: still no luck with them..

one female passes away..

now only 1 male 1 female..

T_T and the female aborted few of the ootheca today

still hoping that ill see some babe..

how long does adult peppered roache live for.?
