MarcusTheRoach Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 After my cockroach eats a large amount of food, he’s not his hyper, spunky self. He’s just... there. Is he just digesting or something? My female never does this after she eats. Lately, I’ve been calling him “Marcus the python” because he just sorta lounges about after he eats. Anybody here whose roaches do this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Account Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Is the animal sitting around in broad daylight during such events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusTheRoach Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 No. He eats in the evening, when he is most active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Account Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 That's good. I'm not sure what is happening, but your python idea seems plausible. Another possibility is that the roach is instinctively unwilling to leave its shelter after eating its fill, because this would cause increased predation risk outdoors.
