Guest TxRoach Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My question is pretty straightforward. Are there any good feeder roaches that can survive, and breed at room temp? It doesn't have to be extremely fast, I have one tarantula at the moment, but I'd like to expand my collection in the future. Currently I have mealworms going, but I'm afraid they wont be big enough in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have experience with other blaberids, but it might be worth looking into some of the smaller members of that genus, although B. giganteus is also fine as a feeder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowadat Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Orangeheads…..I have huge colonies that have never had supplemental heat. They actually generate their own heat..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, shipping prices went up where I am (though I need to check with the actual post office and not just the local private mailing center), and I already have done quite a few trades recently, so I need to conserve what funds I have. Now that you brought it up however, why do you ask? Thanks, Arthroverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what you would be willing to trade, though, so I am not going to start asking about every species. Do you have a trade list somewhere of species you would like to trade?

Arthroverts Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think you can, I haven't seen anything against it. I was mostly joking at the time of that post however. Thanks, Arthroverts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpack Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I've started some roach colonies and eventually will have some to trade. I'm considering acquiring the lobster and the pepper roach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
