most of them were whole only a couple were nibbled on. i use flukers calcium water gel for drink, along with apples and melon. they stay inside and its stays about 70 almost constantly, except at nights i turn the heat way down but have them on top of a tank for the roaches which has a heat pad under it ...so they dont get col or direct heat from it. i gutload with fresh fruits & veges.... and for what they live in i use a mixture of cricket crack and oats.
