Roach breeding.

[demon amphibians]

Have i mentioned a no protein diet? This is by far the biggest factor i have come across. I went from getting 10,000 babies every two months to well over 40,000 after switching them to a pure vegetarian diet. sorry i may have already mentioned this in this thread already its getting pretty long. ha ha.

40000!!! I feed them dog food so do you recommend stopping that? Poison already told me not to but I wasn't sure. What is everything you feed them? Could you make a list if that's not too much to ask? I really want to get 40000 every two months to.

Yes and my random death count has also reduced 10X what i had before i stopped feeding dog food. I did a very detailed experiment and the difference was indisputable. Jeff one of the mods on this site also gave me very helpful information on the subject which lead me to my experiments. Many breeders i have met in person dispute my argument by saying protein is essential for reproduction but i let them think that because my breeding is 4x what they are getting so i can mark my prices much lower making me the unbeatable competition when i sell. ha ha so lets keep this secret for us frog peeps. lol
I make a blend of carrots, romaine lettuce. broccoli stems, cilantro stems, and steamed rice, when i blend them all together i use organic oats to turn the mixture into a paste so to speak. I tell you what they love this wet diet. You may also give them corn flakes and cheerios or just plain oats as a dry food. No animal product what so ever. Then of course I also feed oranges and apples. watermelon has a low nutritional value but the moisture it is worth using not to mention the roaches love the sugar. I use all these veggies whole not blended as well. they will eat just about anything. Just remember in nature they eat from forest floors such as leaves other small plans and even wood. so any produce you give them from your fridge is going to be more then enough nutrition. no need to be picky.
my breeding colony is around 1500 adult females last time i counted was 2 months ago. so of course my number of babies is going to be through the roof. I started with 1,000 and about 13 months later i had over 100,000 ish no way to really count i am sure i have much more then that. you have to be patient with them but when you keep them vegetarians and give them the right humidity, temps, and plenty of dark space they will breed endlessly in no time.

What type of roach did you experiment with?

Also what types of roaches do you breed?

I have bred lobster and dubia, I conducted the experiments on the dubia. Jeff posted some very interesting information showing the many similarities of all species of roaches and their needs. so the protein does not only influence Dubia but more then likely all species. when i start my different species i will conduct the same studies on them and figure out if Jeffs info is true, which so far has been. Poison breeds many different species so he may have much more info on them then i do.

Try Madagascar Hissers next. I breed them aswell as Turkistan, Lobster and Dubia.
