Kevinswither Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am considering doing a pure clean hisser roach colony or the largest hissing roach colony (as I have red runners and bananas). Would they make good feeders (for like large animals)? 20 quart plastic tub will be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomjoe Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The nymphs make a good feeders but i doubt adults would be the best of feeders for anything outside of monitors, tegus, or other large strong jawed animals. I've feed nymphs up to 1.5 - 2 inch to my T's before with no problems. Not sure how long 20qt will work mine started out in a 20 qt and are in an 80 qt now. What are you planing on using them to feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tleilaxu Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hissers should work for the geckos assuming they are tokay sized, turtles like Hissers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Adult male hissers will work for some adult assassin bugs as prey BTW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker41 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've been feeding all my t's from a colony of oblongata's but only my enormous adults will take on a full sized one. My t. Stirmi female loves them and my a. Gents and LP never ask twice no matter what I throw in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
