Salmonsaladsandwich Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 He's fine- he's hungry enough to attack a bug video on a computer screen, but he has now learned that dubia roaches vomit toxic radish juice as a defense mechanism. He won't even look at them. I guess I need crickets till he unlearns his "lesson"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I received some leftover salad/bread/apple cores from my co-workers for my bugs (I avoid the word roaches with my coworkers). I ate the radishes because I figured the roaches would not like them... would they have been safe for the roaches to eat, assuming I did not use them as feeders in the near future? Thanks!

Andee Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 lecole4: I do love my BTS a lot, though right now he has mites, we think he came with them since he had the signs early on I just didn't recognize them for what they were at the time. So he's undergoing treatment (has been to the vet and stuff) and is iso'd from everyone else .___. poor guy. He is my little puppy dog in lizard form, he's grown from 64 grams to 95 in a month. He's getting so big <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roaches liked it. It even offers them some protection from predators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogpack Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Years ago I had a red knee. I hope to acquire an M.Balfori communal and eventually some others like OBT, GBB, and the list goes on... Right now I'm collecting different roaches for breeding. Tell me about Walter? I know very little about short tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
