Gomer pyle Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I find it weird that there are no babies especially since they have all been together the whole time I have had them. Is there something wrong if they have not breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8733K3R Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Did you get them as adults or nymphs? Takes about a year to mature. do you have them on heat? Breeding roaches is a waiting game, patience is key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 OK, so Gromphadorhina portentosa (or more likely, "portentosa" hybrids). Yeah a year is pretty excessive in terms of waiting for offspring, how warm are you keeping them? Hissers need good heat to breed consistently in the 75-85F° range, and the females appreciate good airflow while gestating their broods as well.
