    Thank you so much Jeff, your a life saver

    Yes, you are correct, they are called the wood roach. Sorry for not clearing that out.

    They are very similar if not the same as lobster roaches as i have read.
    Ill still try to have a mixture of both so they don't get bored of the same food all the time.

    Thanks!

    Do they look like this?

    If so they are lobster roaches, which make an excellent feeder. They are incredibly prolific breeders and give live birth as well, but they are a little on the smellier side for a roach (still not as bad as crickets) and they can climb smooth surfaces such as glass. We can discuss more in detail if this are the woodies in question = )

    Edit: Picture fail... wayy too small haha. Go ahead and google 'Lobster Roach' or 'Nauphoeta cinerea' and take a look at the pics.
