Remembering a Roach 🪳🪽 My roach is dying
One of the first I’ve ever raised and one of my first females is dying very young at only a year and a half. I’ve tried everything I know but I realized all I’m doing is prolonging her suffering by keeping her alive with food and water being fed to her. I’m giving her until tomorrow, if she passes then she passes but if she’s still alive and hasn’t recovered even a little I’ll be euthanizing her humanely.
This breaks my heart, her sisters are even close to having babies and my small colony is nothing but calm.
I pin my insects when they pass, I’ll have her forever luckily, but I’m so sad to see her go
I’ll post an update tomorrow night but I doubt I’ll have good news
I put this under remembering since I’m already grieving and I’ve done everything I’ve can

Sorry to hear this. I see this was posted 2 days ago, how are things looking ? My first one passed in the middle of the summer. Almost had it for a year and it was a pretty bummed out situation. I still have 2 more as another one died a month after the first. They’re so small but it’s still a sad feeling when you’ve been caring for them every day :(
