Things roaches in general won't eat:
PeriplanetaAmericana replied to Matt K's topic in Food and Feeding
My S. tartara (Blatta lateralis) don´t like Kiwi. Best regards, Javier. -
My enclosure with some of them (the other ones are in the substrate): They have some babies yesterday!!! I hope to increase my colony, they´re great roaches, I like them! I buyed them a year ago, they were juvenile ninphs, so they need too much time to be adult roaches. Best regards, Javier.

Peppered roach egg
PeriplanetaAmericana replied to bakaichi's topic in General Blattodea Discussions
Hello! Keep them in a plastic box 8"x4" more or less with 2 inches of coco fiber. Keep them with 70% humidity and give them some fruits: oranges, apples..... They seem to eat a lot because you only have 3 roaches. Best regards, Javier. -
panchlora lifespan
PeriplanetaAmericana replied to Roachsmith's topic in General Blattodea Discussions
I´m agree with EffeCi, I keep P. nivea with high levels of humidity. I lost 90% of my P. nivea colony a month ago because the humidity levels were low. Good luck with them! Best regards, Javier. -
Hi! I found these little guys yesterday: B. craniifer "Black Wings": Blattidae sp. "Sri Lanka", the first one was born yesterday and the last one was born on December: These ones hatched after 5 months: It´s an Eurycotis opaca, I have few of them. Comparation between oothecae, the first one is Blattidae sp. "Sri Lanka" and the second one is E. opaca: Now, I´m improving my enclosures for giving them the best. Best regards, Javier.

Hello, I have both roaches. I prefer B. lateralis because they are non-climbers, but you can use olive oil for Lobster, Turks are easier to Sex and they are faster. Best regards, Javier.

Hi! You can also use Shelfordella tartara (Blatta lateralis): easy to keep, easy to breed and cheap. Best regards, Javier.

How often do you feed your roaches?

My new roaches: M. rhinoceros
PeriplanetaAmericana replied to PeriplanetaAmericana's topic in Cockroach Photo Gallery
Hi! Thanks Graham, they are very active . Keith, Eucalyptus leaves it isn´t necesary in their diet, you can also give them oak leaves, like me. There are many species of Eucalyptus and many of them are toxic and can kill our roaches . Best regards, Javier. -
