Also the account seems to have a limit on the maximum number of photos so maybe I will go to blogs.

I'm actually not that much of a storyteller. There were interesting and rather unpleasant moments. On this colony I experimented with protein feed and syrup to find what they mostly like. Once, 2/3 of the colony died because of bad honey syrup.Cool. How about some backstory on the colony?
If you're interested in care, it's pretty basic. As for food — roaches and syrup, and the nest must have gypsum that can be moistened. The only difference is that if you want the colony to grow good and fast, you need A LOT of protein, they'll consume it very quickly.You don’t need to write a novel. Just tell where and when you got the colony, how long you’ve had them, general care, etc. All good journals start like that.
