Good day to all time of day!
Actually question 2: brought me (finally) cockroaches shelfordella tartara and marbles . with the first, everything seems to be fine, but the second ones are temporarily kept in a jar and I noticed this: in the same jar, in wet places closer to the bottom, some "worms" appeared more than a millimeter long, transparent barely visible to the naked eye. tell me plz what/who is it? there is no way to take a picture because there is no microscope. did it come with cockroaches or maybe from the feed? I fed them apples and pears.

and the second question: is it possible to keep Shelfordell and marblers together? or is it still not worth it? and what is the risk?
thanks for the attention!

These are most likely not fruit flies but humpbacks! This is very bad because humpbacks are optional and parasitize in living organims, I also had them to be cleaned more often and keep dry in the cage, then the whole colony will die and spiders/scorpions will attack.

And shelfordell with marbles can be tried to plant, the fact is that shelfordell do not usually eat their skins, and marbles eat everything, so marbles can be for shelfordell exuvia would eat up and then exuvia say they stink then when they accumulate. And humpbacks start up there...

strange. I have shelfordellas behind their skins very quickly eat up.. although cat food is crushed all the time. and in general, they are somewhat aggressive. especially females.
naotkladyvali already almost 5 full cells of the egg grid ootek and none of them ever hatched..
but the humpbacks you scared me a lot O_O I will clean harder. but where do they come from? it should be the eggs that are laid..
and the marbles still live in the bank

, I can't convert the aquarium for them in any way.. but in my opinion, they feel great there, even breed

, I maintain the temperature of both 27-29
and another question: two shelford males after the last molt came out with very underdeveloped wings. one soon died, and the second does not seem to be going and eats normally. what can this" anomaly " be related to?

If anyone is interested, I'll let you know. poperli lupitsa shelfordella. now about 50-60 larvae are running around and every day an addition of 3-5 pcs. as a result of natural selection of adults, 15 females and (!) 2 males are left. initially, all of them were about 30. I raised the humidity by putting a large drinking bowl and the temperature to 32 degrees, apparently this was a success) there was a smell from the shelfors.. quite strong and unpleasant. there are no skins, does the excrement smell so strong??
Oh, and one more thing. they have a small thing crawling in Terra with half a millimeter. it's not really possible to take a picture( but if you look very closely, it looks like ticks. who is it? and what is it doing there??? plz tell me!!
