Jimbe Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 hi i'm Jimbe and I have a gecko a snake and I will soon have a bearded dragon, As I hate crickets i'm switching to roaches as a feeder. I'm quite interested in roaches and i'm getting some adult dubias, i'm gonna breed them. How good can they climb? can they climb carboard boxes? I have a plastic tank i'm gonna keep 'em in but when its gets over-crowded can I keep some in shoeboxes?? do they eat BugGrub? ~Jimbe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Welcome aboard Jimbe! Blaptica can't climb smooth vertical surfaces but they wouldn't have any trouble getting out of cardboard. Use a tall plastic tub. I'm not familiar with buggrub but any dry dog food works well and is probably superior --I've tried some of the 'roach chows' and they're terribly deficient, barely enough to keep the critters alive, let alone breeding.

Roachsmith Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Welcome Jimbe! I make my own roach chow from oats, rice flour, dried veggies and a few other things. I only give them a little bit mixed in with the fresh fruits, veggies and cat food. Dubias love oranges, popcorn and apples but I've found they will eat just about anything. They even ate holes in some of my egg crates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
