I started out with the same amount of Dubia and Discoids in the same enclosure and now the Dubias are out breeding the Discoids. Looks to be like 3/4 Dubia 1/4 Discoid now. I'm thinking about moving out the Discoids.

Right now I'm keeping Dubia and Discoid roaches in the same container and was just wondering if you think they'll breed fast and do better if they're kept in their own enclosures? Thanks in Advance

The other day I was reheating some chicken mcnuggets and four pieces fell on the group. Fed it to the roaches and they loved it, that's the fastest I have seen them eat anything :lol: Just thought I would post a heads up.

I read somewhere saying that the red dye in dog food used for feeding roaches is bad for amphibians. Also that dog food is too fatty which can cause corneal lipidosis in frogs. Anyone know of any truth to this? If so what are some alternatives out there? I just started using dry dog food and my...

Just wondering what would be a good sex ratios for these roaches or it doesn't matter? Thanks
