Roach breeding.

So do you think it will still hatch?

I'm not sure. Keep it around and see what happens! The good news is more ooths are sure to follow, so you will have your babies soon enough even if it doesn't hatch out.

I used a blender and made a mix of oranges, romain lettuce and bread. It was the most disgusting thing ever. What else could I add to help the roaches breed and give them more nutrients?

I would feed bread speratly not blended. but you can use banna's, oats,any green leave like kale, callards, broclli, carrots. they love all this stuff.

I blended up carrots and squash and added enough oats to make a thick paste as described above and I do not think my dubia roaches are taking to it as readily as their dry food mix. I'll check later today to see if anymore of it has been eaten. I too am going to try to switch my roaches to a vegetarian diet.

i noticed the dubias do not smell anymore since i stopped feeding cat food....

I got 100 egg flats/trays today. Each one holds 30 eggs so they are pretty big. This should give the roaches some extra room. I also found another egg case from the red runners and this one is more elongated and its the normal shape so this one will hopefully hatch.

I will admit they do prefer cat, dog and fish food over almost anything. so it may be frustrating to get something else that they will readily stick to. But remember they are built to survive so they will adapt. my roaches wouldnt touch water melon for the longest time. But when i went on a trip i put a huge slice of it mainly for moisture control and that was all they had. they ate it all not to mention now they will clean up an entire water melon in a week. this will also apply to a wet blend. the benefits for me using this is they get a large variety of nutrients through the blend and it helps with moisture after all i use heat lamps for heat so it can dry out quickly without close attention. the wet blend eliminates all those problems i came upon. keep in mind it is always good to have a dry meal for them to. It really all depends on their moisture needs. my roaches to this day will eat a lettuce leaf or an orange before they even touch the wet blend i provide. none the less they will eat about 5-8lbs a week of the wet blend.

Demon,

If all your roaches are this well fed with such good nutrients. How about we eat some for dinna =) Oh and btw...call me we have to make breeding boxes and what about poison?
