How long time do this species use to become adult? I have many many nymphs now.

Secure 5gal setup for 2 hissers?
IceRoach replied to endlesslyashley's topic in Enclosures and Barriers
They like hiding places. Mine are more "calm" when they can hide and they havent tried to escape since then. -
IceRoach started following Blaberus giganteus protein food, Blaptica dubia wild habitat, Oniscus asellus "Mardi Gras Dalmatian" and 4 others
-
What do the habitat for Blaptica dubia look like in the wild?
-
Nice! How many cool (all of them are cool) species do you have now?
-
I collected some Oniscus asellus from my garden. What do you think of their enclosure?
-
Any new update about the roach?
-
You could keep them in room temperature with no substrate. But they like moisture. Hiding places is important.

One of my hissers figured out how to open a slide door with her head plate! Because of that I had to use another terrarium.

Blaberus giganteus nymphs and some questions
IceRoach replied to IceRoach's topic in Breeding and Nymph Issues
They are growing! -
I tried feeding mine grapes, and they love it!
-
Is there something other than cat/dogfood or similar food that I can give my roaches. I have started having a mite problem...

Using plants to control roach population
IceRoach replied to IceRoach's topic in General Blattodea Discussions
I am getting sundews, for they are easy, fast and cheap to grow. The sundews can only eat tiny nymphs, but it doesnt matter if I check the terrarium often for nymphs that they can eat! -

I have only two roach species now, so I don't think that will be a problem -
Using plants to control roach population
IceRoach replied to IceRoach's topic in General Blattodea Discussions
I think on using pitcher plants for the larger roaches, and use venus flytraps for the tiny nymphs. -
Idea for population control I do not mean to do this for fun, but only for controling my pet roach population. So I am sorry in advance if someone is disgusted by this... When my cockroaches will get many more than the few I have now, I will try an "experiment". Becuase I do not want to have too many, I am gonna feed them to carnivorous plants. I do not see how this is different from feeding cockroaches to scorpions or tarantulas.
