ThischickLovesBugs Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There are 5, but they all just would not sit still long enough for a good pic! I think I need a new camera for better quality photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nice roaches! Rhinos are hard to come by, looks like your doing good. I have a terrible camera for bugs too, hence why I never post any pics. Are those adult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had them around 5 monthss now. I'd like to add a few more soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Did they molt in the last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefgot Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It's not a good "substrat ", it needs a lot of cm of "substrat" to be fine. Sorry for my bad English http://blattes-schaben-roac.meilleurforum.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my bad English http://blattes-schaben-roac.meilleurforum.com/ I'm playing Blonde today. By cm, are you talking the inches? Right now their enclosure depth is 5-6 inches. Mixture of sand and eco earth. I see a few of them out and about on very rare occasions. I group them as pet holes along with my T's.

Keep the substrate shallow, they are one of the only burrowing roaches that can't molt correctly if there's dirt over them. In nature they live in small caverns they construct but in captivity the substrate collapses on them and there is no cavern. Shallow substrate can lead to them drying out and dying if attention isn't paid but deep substrate will end up with all or most becoming massively deformed. When you got them weren't you told to keep them on shallow substrate by the breeder? Only someone who has kept nymphs through molts at various stages of life would know this.
