what do you feed your FBT?

[KingCam]

Roaches, amazingly enough, do not freak me out.

Then you have no excuse for not already having a culture!! haha

I would not mind raising them if they are easier to rear than crix (I tried to raise crix and yes, they are STUPID. lol. I failed miserably.) Cam, what all do you suggest to set up a roach colony and where did you buy your starter ones at? If you've already posted all that on here, please direct me to where.

Well, thanks to you I just spent an hour typing up a lobster roach care sheet XD You can find it here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...r-roaches.html

As far as where to get some, aaronpauling.com is a good one to order from. If you want lobster roaches I could possibly send you a starter culture, free of charge (except for packing and shipping costs, of course, which you would need to paypal me).

I'll gladly give it a whirl, anything to get rid of the crix smell. (I have a setup of crix just as Karri described, 60 at a time, feed them flukers and keep them in a bug keeper.) But they die entirely too often.

The only reason I ever looked into breeding roaches was because of how freaking disgusting crickets smell. You will love me when you realize I opened your eyes to a world where nasty cricket tubs don't exist.

Oh, looking at your pic, are all of them that big? I ask because I remember the rule about FBT only being able to eat bugs about the size between their eyes. *knows nothing about roaches except those big suckers that sometimes make it in the house*

The adults get up to 1.25 inches, but you could just keep the adults for reproductive purposes and just feed the smaller nymphs to your frogs. Or you could culture Red Runners instead (Blatta lateralis). They are smaller & BONUS they are non-climbing.
