Shrimp as food?

Roaches take a while to build up a steady supply (sometimes 6 months). Do you have any photos of the roaches and dew worms? I've never seen a dew worm.

I have never tried to breed roaches before, but I'm hoping the two males to one female ratio will work to my favour. They might be in too small a container right now-they are being upgraded to a 5 gallon tank soon. Here are some photos of the roaches (Akida-male; Juma, male; Desta, female) and some chubby worms!

Ah hissers - I thought you had gotten something else. If I recall correctly, hissers aren't the greatest multiplier.

Those worms are Lumbricus terrestris, the original earthworm.

No, hissers aren't the best, but one can hope mine will be the exception to the rule. Regardless, they are fascinating pets and the males have provided some real entertainment.

The worms I bought during the winter were a lot bigger. My guess is the more demand, the less time they have to grow before they are shipped out. Either way, Kadesh and Obi recognize the container and get ready at feeding time!

Thanks Bruce-I'll look into it. Canada has some weird laws concerning live animals, even feeder insects. They allow hissing cockroaches brought in and sold, but no other roaches as far as I can find. They even banned millipedes for a few years because of the slight toxin they can excrete. Now I can can millipedes, but not roaches. Go figure.
