Baby vinegaroons molting soon?

[sschind]

The baby vinegaroons (M. giganteus) I posted about a couple of months back are doing great but none of them have molted yet. I know they only molt once a year and these guys are so fat it looks like they are going to burst. I know I don't feed them THAT much. I am assuming they are getting ready to molt soon. I was wondering if I should hold off feeding them or if it is OK to give them their baby roaches (which they go after like crazy)


Also, I have them in 8oz deli cups with about 3/4" of coco fiber as a substrate. Is this OK for their molting process or should I do something else. Only a couple of them have ever done any digging.

I have a potential trade in the works but I want to hold off on it if they are close to molting.

Thanks

Steve

In my experience, they'll just keep eating until they stop accepting food. This happens to be when they look like they're practically about to explode.
I would avoid shipping them if they're really well-fed.
