From 11/4/14

I have been testing the effects of gentamicin on dubia roaches. Today, I gave each one another dose of the antibiotic solution in the same manner as the original administration. All 10 roaches are still alive.

Observations: Because each roach had an individual piece of dog food in its petri plate, the oral feeding group was less accepting to the sucrose solution compared to the original administration 3 days ago. With enough patience and technique, each roach was given the full 10 microliter dose.

  1. Maybe during the course of the experiment, we might as well provide only the sugar:water(abx) solution for nutrition and hydration.
