Petastic Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 So I've had my roaches for a few days now and I want to do a touch-up and see if you guys think I'm doing everything right. 500+ dubia 20 gallon rubbermaid bin Bark and paper towel rolls plate of water crystals which I keep full 24/7 Fish food/chicken layer/dogfood mix as a staple. 40/10/50 Heat pad below with a 50 watt heat lamp to the side Temperature stays 79F-90F degrees 45-60% humidity, too low or ok? Right now I'm giving them daily fruits/scraps. Oranges and bananas are relished. Another thing, I've heard several people here feed their roaches oak leaves. Does this apply to all species of oak? Do people feed the brown, decomposing, dead leaves? Or the green ones still on the tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisserman Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi, sounds like you're doing good Most people use dead/dieing oak leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Sounds good. You may not even need the heat pad or lamp! Roaches definitely prefer dead leaves to live ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
