HisserLove Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Like I said on the welcome page I am Peri and new to cockroach enthusiasm but very eager to get deep into the hobby. I have 3 pet roaches and I believe I have two males and one female. They are at the end of their nymph stage and getting ready to molt for the last time. I would like to breed them. The problem that I have with this is that once I start breeding them the colony will continue to grow. What happens when it gets really large, you cant have a thousand roaches, or at least I don't want that many. I would like to have 3 small colonies of different roaches. Also keep in mind that I love the roaches and destroying them would never be an option. What do you guys do to control the colony? Any ideas or thoughts? I would love them all.

Keith Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Seperate male and female into different cages so they can't breed. Or give away all the babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 When I have too many roaches in a tank, I sell/exchange a part of the colony, or I use them to feed my reptiles, arachnids, Platymeris and so on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
