I have a thriving colony and a couple months ago I really needed to cut down so I sent some to a friend. Probably about 200 roaches, all sizes ages and sex. A few gravid females, males, nymphs the whole works. He's been feeding them off (I had a talk with him about establishing a colony first) and this morning he woke up to about a dozen carcasses and what he described as a giant female. The bodies had been chewed on. Has anyone ever seen this before? He feeds them dog food, water cubes and fresh veggies and fruits, same as what I feed mine and I've NEVER seen anything like this. Ideas?

Hmm, no, dubia don't tend to do that. Maybe the humidity's too low and they failed to molt, which can also make them look ragged?
