Same here, lost 16 total. Had 8 in the house in boxes feeding them crickets, they didn't make it either.

Man I’m afraid the same happened here. Had a couple of pairs in my house but I fear they’re done for.

We have boxes at plant, I rolled over one in road, never moved. Picked it up and tucked it next to main building.
