Portentosa Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hi everyone! Has anyone seen or do you know if a Madagascar hissing cockroach can become "pregnant" before their final molt? An adult of mine just had her nymphs some days ago (so cute!) and now I notice that my juvenile female looks very round, like my adult did for so long. I've been assuming she was getting ready for a last molt (since she is all black and doesn't have adult hisser coloration yet), but now I'm wondering if another 30 or so nymphs could be on their way... Thank you! -Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 They can only breed once they have had their final molt. She may be an adult, as some have color variations and she may just be an all black hisser. There really isn't a specific "adult coloration". She also may just be a small adult female, or she could just be fat, it happens! Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpack Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I just got hissers, so have this to look forward to. Hopefully things will go sommthly for all of them as nature does what nature does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
