Refreshed top substrate

Taken out some very damped plant materials, and refreshed with crushed and dried Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus robusta, AIF mulch, Hay Grass mix, and cypress mulch.

One thing should be noted, even though only very small amount plant materials look and feel very damped and the rest look normal to me, the cockroaches seem to have a taste for fresh materials, as soon as I throw fresh plants matters into the bin, they immediately noticed and begin to fetch them. Most noticeable small B get on with eating dried grass like there is no tomorrow, and a medium size nymph drag a piece of crushed Eucalyptus robusta around like someone is going to steal it.

In the last week, I have followed schedule strictly, only replenish them with Eucalyptus globulus, sometimes with hay grass mix when food is visibly getting low.

Will count them at next top substrate refreshment.

During last week’s observation, all 6 large males, and 2 larger AIF nymphs don’t burrow anymore, they just stay on top, probably due to their size.
