fabarmadillo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'm planning to add more hissers from a different source to my current colony to improve the genetic diversity. Can I add them directly to the tank? Or do I need to keep them separate first and get them used to the smell of each other? I mean, will they attack other roaches they don't know?

Allpet Roaches Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If the males fight it wont matter how long they have to get used to each other first. Usually the fights are harmless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlon Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 how bad does it hurt or limit them when they lose their antenna ? It huts to see stubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Account Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 For some reason, insects seem to only be alarmed while the injury is happening; once it stops they soon appear to calm down, even if half their body has been ripped off. The existence of insect consciousness is a controversial topic though. fortunately, deantennated roaches can still taste for edibles with their palps, and I suspect that juveniles can regenerate antennae while molting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
