    As long as you can keep the temp above 70F for the roaches you can keep them any where. they don't need any light and prefer it dark anyway.
    you can keep the plastic bin in the closet.
    I cut 1/2 holes out of the top and hot glued fine window screen over the holes.
    They really thieve in 80+F but 70 and above is ok.

    I was going in-between two names for my frog one if it turned out to female or male.

    it will take at least a month or so until you will start to see nuptial pads on top of his thumbs if it is a male.

    Dang Dubias are really easy to keep, huh!?! That's great...I have a spot for them in my basement then. I didn't know how to identify sex and I truly appreciate that info! Kinda excited to see what sex it is now! Is it true that pacs can pass coco fiber? I'm not sure, but I think he might have ate a little but trying to get a cricket. Thanks

    The top one is a male.
    the bottom one is a female.
    you want to keep 1 male to 3 females .

    And yes all frogs can pass coco fiber or eco earth that is the main reason to use it since most frogs eat a small amount of substrate each time they go for a
    pray item.
    so don't worry.

    when my pep was much younger his poop was almost all eco earth. LOL but as he got older he got better aim.

    Haha! That's funny...I always get a good laugh at him during his strikes. Some are spot on and others are a little sloppy lol. Good to know they can pass it for sure..makes me even more happy that I removed the sphagnum. He has one cricket roaming around in there with him. Since there's isn't over feeding problem, what would be considered under feeding?

    that depends on what you are feeding and how big the frog is.

    Anyone care to venture a guess on how old my little buddy is? I live in an area where we got hit exceptionally hard by the winter storm and I sure hope I don't run out of crickets. I'm trying to make them stretch. Can he miss one meal if I can't drive over and get some crickets until Thursday/Friday? Thanks guys
