Since hard, empirical evidence is lacking on the issue of protein supplementation, the hobbyist must turn to anecdotal evidence; and it overwhelmingly advises the use of protein supplementation: dog food, cat food, chicken feed, fish flakes...
Hi. I'm an Ultrasound technician from central Illinois. I've been keeping roaches for a little over a year and currently have a dozen species under culture:
B. atropos-new starter
B. boliviensis-medium colony
B. lateralis-new starter
E. posticus-new starter
E. floridana-medium colony
G. grandidieri-small colony
G.portensa-small colony
H. flexivitta-small colony
N. rhombifolia-Large colony
P. nigra-small colony
P. surinamensis-small colony
R. cf. capelloi-small colony
I keep these as pets (no feeding out) and first learned of this forum through the Allpet Roaches" website.
Since obtaining a small colony of Henschoutedenia flexivitta, I have been researching their natural habitat and region of origin. I haven't had much luck. Anyone out there have any answers?
