Twilightroach 8 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I spotted my first baby turkistan roaches this morning! There are probably around 10 or so. But I am excited that they are hatching now! Lots of ootheca's all around though. Do the babies need any different care then the adults? they eat the same food right? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeverLift 16 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 How long did it take the ootheca to hatch? Mine matured and have been dropping ooth like crazy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twilightroach 8 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 @NeverLift I think it took about 4-5 weeks for the ootheca to hatch. Mine have also been dropping ootheca like crazy, there are tons all over. So I am sure more babies will come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dcfarms 16 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 No extra care is needed for the nymphs. my colony always has a protein source cause as the colony grows they get more ravenous. I am constantly trying new veggies and fruit combos with them. So far they devour almost anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twilightroach 8 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Ok, thank you. What types of fruits and vegetables do you feed them? I feed mine apples and oranges. And potatoes sometimes too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
