dubia roaches what is this never seen it before?

That's an egg case (ootheca). She will extend it to dry, then turn it sideways and draw it back in. She will deposit one about every 7-8 weeks. She will then stand over it until all the little nymphs have have crawled from it. Dubia ootheca average about 15-30 eggs.

Are you sure they are dead? They can play dead pretty darn good,
Or...
Is it just a shell? like are they empty? if so, it may just be from molting.
 
I had that problem for a while. I adjusted two issues and the problem really stopped.

1) It shouldn't be wet in there, but mild moisture and a constant source of water. Those cricket cubes dry up really quickly. I like water crystals better as they last longer. Mist the container every day, just a couple sprays.

2) They like it warm, but not too warm. The best way of figuring out what they want is to put the heating pad only under a quarter of the tank. If it is too hot they will be found on the far side, If not, they will be mostly over the pad. Adjust accordingly. I don't like to keep them too warm, because I like to keep the breeding a little slower.

I am overrun right now, so if anyone is interested , just write or call.

Talk to you later,
Matthew
