Allpet Roaches Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'd go for B. discoidalis or either Eublaberus (discoids or orange heads or six spots) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 B. discoidalis, E. posticus, or B. boliviensis. Boliviens seem a little bulkier than the other two, but I've only had my colony going for a year, so I don't know how well they'd do at cranking out large numbers for feeders.

Jason. Hissers can get the mass which is good, but frankly I think you would get much faster production with one of the Blaberus species for a large feeder roach. Blaberus discoidalis and Blaberus atropos seem to reproduce the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
