What do these look like? I fed the slings some mealworms and pinhead turks recently. Mealworm bolus' were easy to spot and remove, but I have not seen any evidence of the roaches ever being there lol. I have a feeling my chaco buried it under it's current project but my PI tangerine doesn't move dirt and I can't spot them

I feed mostly roaches, and the occasional cricket ,to my Ts. Their boluses are light colored (pinkish/grey) but when rolled in substrate they just look like clumps of dirt.

The boluses from such a tiny prey item will disappear into the substrate. The boluses of larger prey item roaches are going to a greyish color with bits of exoskeleton on the exterior.
