I think it is so cool how personnal you get with these things. I almost think when it comes feeding time your going to have a guilt trip feeding them to your frogs lol. But hey all of my roaches are my pets as well. At least for now . And they are such a peaceful insect. I never thought i would say such a thing about a roach. Heck I was very close to not getting them at all. My idea of roaches were they are just dirty little Basturds. Lots of entertainment.
Once they come out of baby bin either to send off or shake up or simply feed, the attachment ends. I wish them luck as future poop. It just seemed to take so long for the 1st births and during that time I was worrying over whether temp/humidity was ok for molting, whether they'd mate, blah blah.
I know I've said it before, but I won these and was so surprised, nearly turned it down. Glad I didn't. Never would've imagined I'd invite roaches into my house, working so hard to keep bugs OUT, and then encourage them to breed. It's nuts. But it's all for frog that I have multiple bins of bugs and a fridge with earthworms in the butterdish. She's worth it. And dubia roaches are kinda sweet, in temperament, appearance, and I'm just inferring here, but probably taste.
