Dubia roache colony

[Jslawinowski]

Hello friends, I have just started a dubia roach colony and my second batch of babies came out all white. There’s about 20-30 babies that were just born. Why are they white? The first batch that was born were all brown like normal. Anyone know why this happened?

White just means they shed their exoskeleton and they are turning into adults,they should turn brown within hours.

Should I separate them from the adult and add them to the other babies? I have two bins and after a few days I moved the babies into another bin. Should I not do that?

I think your fine leaving them as they are, they turn into adults in a matter of hours and will go brown as the shell hardens.

Okay cool thanks

Uhhh they don't turn into adults within hours... it takes several months for them to become adults. That said, they are white because they are freshly molted, completely normal, all roaches do this. Also you do not have to separate nymphs from the adults.

Okay that’s awesome to know. Thank you
