Thought this pic was pretty funny, he couldn't get up.
Looks like your little nymph is eating just fine!
Anything like sliced banana, greens, apple, rolled oats, cornmeal, cereal, dog/cat food, fish food, will be jes fine.
Is newspaper ok to use as a substrate? I use that and cardboard stacked vertically. I also mist twice a week and love to watch them all come out and drink. They also have water crystals.

Well, hey, I'm back. I did eventually get rid of my entire lobster roach colony----gave them to a friend. I was too paranoid that they would infest my apartment! They are prolific breeders!!!! Fast and can climb very well, as you all prolly know. I switched to blaptic dubia and got a couple of hissers. I love both of these species and have enjoyed raising them tremendously. !!!
Looking forward to more activity with this roachy forum.
Oh NO....these are a mutant strain of dubia in reaction to evolution of captivity. They could be very very dangerous.
very strange.
it does look like a deformed male to me, though.
I keep my hissers in an aquarium in my living room, too. The are in the space of my
'entertainment center' precisely where the TV should be. ha HA I love them.
Hissers are nocturnal and this can make it seem like they never eat--------especially if you have a small amount of them.
Very cool. Good luck with your soon to arrive babies!
I have lobster roaches and feed them dry dog food---oats----bread----
They seem to really enjoy small slices of banana----cut in half and and then take half of that and slice down the middle---when I do that the roaches climb all over the exposed fruit and chow down.
They also really dig blackberries.
I am currently keeping lobsters and I really like them---so does my beardie and turtles.
They are EASY to keep.
Don't smell.
Easy to keep from climbing.
Breed VERY quickly and have live birth.
