Just had the smallest dubia litter ever. Physically tiny, and I think there were only 5-10. I'm so bummed. Not sure what I did. Increased the heat today, maybe they were preemies. I don't know, but between this and the messed up worms and Banjo shedding again and climbing instead of eating, and boy crickets chirping non-stop (eggs are being laid, i saw her do it), I'm about ready to give up.
WHY would they be so small and so few? Was she only a little pregnant, did she mate just a little bit? I could get weirder with that, but in seriousness, did she try to abort and the viable babies lived?
