eric10686 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I know that dubia roaches live up to like 2 years. My question is there any other feeder roaches that live fairly long or just as long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think hissers live at least 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric10686 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 yea I should have added hissers but as far as i know they arent really looked upon as a feeder due to their hard shell and they can climb etc. any other feeders you guys can think of that lives for 2 years or longer?

lovebugfarm Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I just checked looks like Eublaberus Posticus or orange head roaches can live between 1-2 years. I think for longer life span the way to go is larger roaches. Probably discoid and any other blaberus spieces like fusca, atrops, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have Eublaberus serranus (pantanal roach). I received inch long nymphs in nov 2015. They started molting into adults in Feb 2016 and I noticed the first deaths of males in July. I assume these were old age deaths. I didn't notice any females dead until september or so. They are quite productive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric10686 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 So im looking into Fusca, these look really nice, they get bigger which is a plus but does anyone have any real info if they do indeed live as long as dubia or longer? Im all about the lifespan of my feeders thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatsKreations Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hissers are often feeders. Though in my book treats not a staple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
