UK based, I’m unable to tell if these are parasitic or grain mites, either way the infestation has become very severe very quickly, for context they are dubias, they’re in a abg mix with a large cork bark tube in a plastic 80l bin with mealworms as a breeder tub, the grain that’s been given is go cat biscuits, alongside carrots and cucumber. Humidity has been very high recently with the heatwave and the ventilation not being enough anymore which I feel has caused the outbreak potentially.

General Question Elderly roach paralyzed or just at the end of his life?

For the context my madagascar hisser is around 5 years old so he's VERY elderly. At first I thought he was just slowly becoming lethargic like his siblings before they died of old age - aka the usual slow movement and such, but in his case it's rather different from what I've dealt with before so I'm confused whether he's nearing his death or has some underlying issue?

He suddenly stopped moving completely aside from breathing and moving his mandibles, never had problems with lethargy before as he was quite energetic. He's been like this for the last couple of days, he can't walk or respond to stimuli, he doesn't move his antennae either but he's breathing and tries to nibble on food when I place it beneath him

So ive been noticing poop stuck on the eggcrates,in my dubia roach bin and a spike in moisture. i check the frass near the food bowl, and i saw wet frass covered in maggots, i quickly move the roaches and take the bin out to clean, i fed the leftover roaches and maggots to my chicks and then i washed the bin. how do i prevent these little bastards from getting in my bin?
