WASHINGTON REDSKIN1026 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 HELLO, I HAVE PICKED UP SOME B.DISCOIDALIS. I HAVE A PAIR OF ADULTS THEY DONT HIDE AS MUCH , AND SOME NYMPHS. BUT MY NYMPHS ARE ALWAYS HIDING IN THE SUBSTRATE. DOES ANYONE ELSE USE BEDDING FOR THIS SPECIES? IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE NOT EATING, AND THAT SUCKS? MAYBE ILL TAKE OUT THE SUBSTRATE? ALSO MAYBE SOMEONE CAN GIVE A QUICK CARE SHEET? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes, the nymphs like to live in the substrate. I place dry dog food on the dry part of the substrate and they eat it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebbewocky Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If you only have a few, the amount they eat seems really small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre72 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 THANKS GUYS I WILL KEEP WITH SUBSTRATE. Yes I had a colony of Discoid roaches a few years back. They're a big, beautiful species and easy to manage since they don't climb glass. The friend who gave them to me said that if the room is below 70 degrees, they'll stop eating. So, make sure the room is above that temperature. Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
