Mold in Dubia colony - safe to feed after waiting a bit?

[Jsterner666]

Hi!

I have a dubia colony and superworm colony at the moment. I found some mold in the dubias - 1 container it was just a tiny bit of mold but the other two there was a substantial amount.
Admittedly, I don't check the bugs horribly often as I don't love keeping them, so I'm not really sure how long the mold had been in the cages. The second I saw it I changed containers and they're now mold free, no deaths.

I'm not sure if there's a specific time I have to wait for them to get rid of the mold from their systems, to make sure no mold would go to my BTS, or if I need to just get rid of them entirely and start with new ones. Obviously due to cost and effort, I'd rather not throw them out, but I definitely don't want to put my skink at risk over something like this.

With the superworms, it was an old potato that had turned gray, but didn't have anything visibly growing on it, so I'm assuming waiting a few days for those would be fine.

I'd give it a good week before feeding any of those roaches just to be on the safe side.

I've been keeping dubias practically since they were introduced to the pet trade as feeders and have had same issue, which I addressed with more ventilation. The roaches will not eat anything moldy, believe it or not so do not worry, they're fine.

Ah okay, awesome!

I definitely wouldn't want to kill animals for no reason, so I'll let them wait a bit now that they're in nice clean enclosures
Thanks guys!
