ggcrush Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I’m curious if any of you have an all-rounder substrate, or even a recipe you use to make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 For roaches? Coco fiber. 😂 With the exception of Panesthiinae, none of the hobby species need an edible substrate, and I use coconut fiber for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednkhunter Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hisserdude, What about the Lucihormetica verrucosa Roach? I was told they do best in flake soil, and cocoa fiber wasn't any good for t his species from the breeder. Thank you for any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have bred them on coco fiber no problem, others prefer a more organic substrate mix for them. L.verrucosa in general seem to be the least picky Lucihormetica species, so you could probably get away with using whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
