RomanBuck Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I got at least 200 beetles and larvae from a teacher and they REAK!!! Will they always smell so bad? Or will they mellow out in time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 If they still eat decaying items they will most likely smell. Mine smelt and I kept cage rather clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 If you want mellow, relatively odorless deremestids you want larder or hide & tallow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm going to feed them dead roaches and dog food so will they keep smelling if I feed them that? As soon as I get upwards of 20,000 or so I may start cleaning skulls but that's a maybe... I don't like the smell to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think the smell is the species you have but if you just feed them dog food they will smell less if it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Really? I have been reading it is just the animal matter but I suppose it could be like the Florida skunk roach kinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
