jebbewocky Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've been using E.distanti as feeders, but I kinda don't like how armored the nymphs seem to be, and how much they burrow. Would E.posticus or ivory maybe be a better fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 If you've got enough " ivory " to use as feeders ..... I'll buy 20-40 from you!!!! I really want them !! As far as Eublaberus as feeders, I've got 4 species and they all seem to be about the same as nymphs/ subadults.. Semi hard shell and burrowers... I'm trying to use them as feeders but I just like Eublaberus so much I keep seeing them as " pet " roaches !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 we have used both E.posticus and E.sp ivory as feeders the biggest problem with them is the defensive odor more so with E.posticus we feed bearded dragons and jacksons chams if your looking for great feeders most of the Blaberus Roaches are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Defensive odor doesn't bother me..I just don't like sifting through for nymphs..I don't have any ivory. Might switch to different feeders..maybe B.bolivensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Does anyone know which Blaberus species is the smallest? I used to raise dubia as feeders, and they worked out Ok, but I didn't particularly like keeping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
