I tried to get it as dry as possible, but I'll make sure half of it isn't. I did put a water bowl on either side because it took 2 days to get here from the seller and I thought maybe that's why she was skinny. They didn't know when the last molt was. Do you think a regular feeding schedule will plump her up? Oh, and I have Turkistans, too. Is either roach more fatty than the other?
