These roaches are very easy to care for. One thing I dont do is dust them as I mix calcium D3 supplements through the bug grub that they eat so I feel my frogs get enough from gut loading when using these.
I use decent sized plastic storage tubs From home bargins to house them in. I Pearce holes in the lid for ventilation.
I then place 2 of these inside a larger storage tub to help combat escaping but these guys find it harder to escape than crickets.
I change the bug grub, water gel once a week, I use very small caps as the smaller roaches will hide in the food if you use large ones.
I have some spare wood and aluminium mesh so im going to build a simple stand for the heat mat to sit on and them mesh on top and bottom to save the plastic from melting at each end.
I bought egg crates as I didnt want to to use ones from super market incase they hold a salmonella strain.
Im still squeamish with insects so I have a hoover designed to hoover them up and then place them in the feeding cups.
Ill post some pictures so you know what I mean.
You dont need to feed as many roaches compared to crickets so I place 4 for each frog every second night.
My frogs are still quite young so I feed <10mm size.
