Default lobsters...

Hi, after my lobsters been going for about a year now. I have had nearly Nearly all of them have died over the last week or two.
I find them laying on their backs wiggling their legs. I turn them back over and they stumble and fall back over :S
All i can think of is my dogs were frontlined recently. (the roach tubs are about 6ft from the floor but im thinking maybe the vapours from the frontline has got to them
Any other clues?

I found this for you


Once the colony becomes sizeable, it is best to split them up because sooner or later the size of the colony will literally explode. The roaches can produce a toxic gas that can kill the entire colony unless the colony is well aired.
Once Lobster roach colonies are well established you will have roaches of all different sizes to offer lizards the exact size they need. Soft and yummy, think of Lobster roaches as living hamburgers full of juicy meat just waiting for your animals to consume! Raising roaches is easy and raising Lobster roaches easiest of all.

It could be down to the front-line as you said. Just outta curiousity what humidity are you keeping them at? I remember reading that too low a humidity can also kill em as it screws up their shed.
