*bows* You are amazing Cam, thank you SO much! Gonna share all of that with the hubby a bit later, see what he thinks. He hates roaches but anything to get rid of the crix smell, lol.

You're too kind *blushes*

haha, I hope you can talk him into it! Seriously, you won't know how you made it so long with crickets after you switch to roaches :P

lol, well since *I'm* the feeder I doubt he'll mind. Read your care sheet, that's perfect. They are a lot less needy than crickets too! I like that.

So much less needy. When I first started breeding roaches a few years ago I had this spare tub with a bit of peat moss in the bottom that I had been keeping some lobster roaches in. Top edge vaselined to keep them in of course. In the process of moving my animal room from upstairs to the basement the spare roach tub got forgotten in a closet. They went 4 months without food OR water. They were almost all still alive O_O

omg that's insane! lol. Reminds me of reading some roaches can live without heads and they've been around since the time of the dinosaurs, hah. That's good though, hardy little suckers.

hahaha, sorry! I hate them too, or at least I did, but now I think I actually like them. Otherwise there's no way to explain why I am currently keeping 6 different species of roach in my house O_O

EDIT: Make that 8 species :P

1) Lobster Roaches | Nauphoeta cinera
2) Guyana Orange Spotted Roaches | Blaptica dubia
3) Red Runners | Blatta lateralis
4) Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches | Gromphadorhina portentosa
5) Surinam Roaches | Pycnoscelus surinamensis
6) (No Common Name) | Pycnoscelus femapterus
7) Pallid Roaches | Phoetalia pallida
8) Death Head Hybrids | Blaberus sp.
