all dead in their box.    We became aware of the dad going in and out and thought the mum was staying in with the young, she popped out, when the dad went in for a rest.  She had cleaned out the box and shells and been a good mum, but some how she has died. (Not in the box).   Dad tried to cope with bringing in enough insects for babies, but just couldn't cope, bless him.    He has been back and look into the box quite a few times, but he has given up now.
