I don't know that they'd do well with other inverts besides clean-up crews, they are very prolific and fast growing, plus they can be finicky when it comes to the level of dead bodies in their enclosure, yet they produce a ton, so maintaining them along with other species of roach in the same enclosure may get tricky. 1 hour ago, BlattaAnglicana said: What are those small black creatures in with them (visible in the photos a few posts up)? They look like some sort of small beetle? Like others have said, they are Alphitobius diaperinus, which I use in addition to Porcellio scaber to eat the dead bodies in their enclosure, this species of roach really needs a clean-up crew in their enclosure or else you have to scoop out the dead bodies by hand, and that's no fun! 20 minutes ago, Cariblatta lutea said: Glad to see that these are doing well for you!

And found perhaps the last person in the US with a stable colony of them! 😁 Just bought a group from him, so I will have these again starting next week!

Well hopefully I'll be able to help with that! Thanks, me too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
