Roachsmith Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I want to create a vivarium in a tank that my fuscas are in. I thought I might be able to leave them in there. Do you think they would eat all the plants or would they only eat decaying plants? It might be a fun project. I want to put some millipedes in there too and possibly a water feature that they won't be able to fall into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 More than eating plants, in good numbers they'll dig them up. If there aren't too many inhabitants a vivarium can look very nice and most live plants won't be touched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 They were actually tearing up my background so I took them out. I had built a foam background and they dug right through it. I had fusca in there. I might try it again with a smaller species. I think a viv for p. nivea would be nice if I can find one that looks nice and is escape proof. The new zoo med terrariums look nice, but I have only seen pictures. I want to check out the gaps around the edges before I buy one. Does anybody here have one of these yet? The exo terra tanks I have won't work for tiny roaches. There are big gaps around the glass in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
