I didn't know I was quoted here... Don't think I said anything wrong. Maybe it's because I just started breeding them Dec 28th, with a breeding kit I won. (tho I did mention that in what I was quoted on.) I didn't have a proper bin or a heating element when I found out I won so had to get those before they arrived, and read up on everything they'd need to ensure health and proper breeding. My roaches hadn't become fully mature, so I had to watch and wait as they became adults, which meant checking up on them to make sure everybody was ok, that heat and humidity were right. I still check up on them, as they haven't all become adults yet, and yesterday I found a lady with her ootheca hanging out. Name: DSC00169.jpg Views: 970 Size: 88.3 KBSo, yay! Because of the heat in there, fresh food could mold and mold kills, so again, still figuring out time frames and how much they eat. Obviously this guy is just starting out, or considering starting out, as I am. Once they've gotten going, I don't forsee any problems. I have enough bins to store baby feeders and a toad with an appetite to eat most of them. And Heatheranne definitely meant squeeze the juice on the cubes, not the roaches, to get them to eat them so they won't be wasted.

No idea is oranges help promote breeding but I've been sharing my oranges and at least one girl is preggo, so it obviously doesn't hurt, as long as you don't leave any in there for too long. They're not devouring the oranges I give them, just a bite here and there, so it may very well be just the humidity or maybe the scent it gives off. Dunno, and the roaches aren't saying.
