Roach collector Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Amazing colony! My nymphs have yet to become adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Do you keep their enclosure very dry? How deep is your substrate? What do you feed them? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach collector Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I mist one corner of the enclosure then wait till it dries out to do it again. I keep them on about an inch of coconut fiber with dried oak leaves on top. Feed them dog food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have mine in a small plastic container with lots of ventilation holes on the lid, I keep their substrate dry and I mist one corner of the substrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoachyPissyHisser Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Do you keep their enclosure very dry? How deep is your substrate? What do you feed them? Thanks! the substrate is around 3-4 inches deep. i keep the soil very dry, mostly due to the fact i i like in England, so i keep them in a cupboard at room temperature along with a heat mat, so its probably around 35 degrees(Just a guess) and i feed them a small amount of carrot, but they mostly eat dry leaves and the substrate itself, which is full of plant fibre.

Thanks! It is good to know that you keep them at 35 C (95 F). I was unsure if I could increase the temp on this species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So I finally got the enclosure dried out, added hardwood leaves, misted one corner, added a few carrots and added a heat cable. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
