I have at the moment 7 ooths of Paroblatta lata. What do i need to do to hatch them properly? Any help with this species would be great!
Thank-you

Keep them in medium humidity, substrate probably helps, and a warm temperature. They will probably hatch in 2-3 weeks.?

I have mine in a terrarium with several other insect species (beetles, crickets, etc.), so some newly hatched nymphs get eaten often. Hence, I don't know for sure. By the looks of the ooth, 15-20 babies seems likely. The good thing about breeding Parcoblatta is that you can just release the extras.
