dcheath Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I keep a small colony. I collected them in my backyard. They are what got me in to raising non feeder roaches. My profile pic is an adult male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 cool! are they easy to breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcheath Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 They aren't too hard to breed. The ootheca seem like they take forever to hatch. I about gave up on them before I saw any nymphs. Kyle has some (as far as I know) that I sent him a year and a half ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah the polyphagids take a while to hatch, lol. What do you use for the substrate? Sorry for all the questions, Im just really interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
