Another weird one that was a big hit - cauliflower stalks. Peeled off the outer skin and sliced thin, distributed between all the roaches and pods. Everything demolished it, even took priority over apples with my dubia to my amazement. (*edit to add* Even the Shadow roaches at the two tiny...

Very pretty!

That would be amazing!

Great information, thank you both! I do already have springtails in with all roaches, so I think I just need to figure out what isopods to add in with them. I'm leaning pretty heavily to adding Trichorhina tomentosa in with my 3 colonies of dubia. Maybe Cubaris sp. Panda King in with the red...

My Dairy Cows have exploded in population - no surprise there, right? They're at a point where I can comfortably sell some if anyone is looking. 15 for 10.00 25 for 15.00 Local pick up in north central Texas (Collin or Rockwall County) is free. I don't have permits to ship .. so I'm not sure...

Got an order of Pyrite dubia and Armadillidium maculata from Kyle this week, and just had to say how happy I am! The poor little guys got sent to the wrong post office, so they were delayed by an additional 3 days (gotta love holiday weekends! 😅 ) but they were packaged so nicely that...

I decided to keep all my roaches with substrate, even the feeders. I feel they'll have a better quality of life and that's super important to me now. I'm going to attempt to go fully bioactive with some plants and cleanup crew of both isopods and springtails. I know the plants will most likely...

Amazingly enough, all of my roaches went crazy for broccoli of all things! I peeled off the outer layer of the stem and then diced it into small chunks. Even the Shadow roaches ate it all! Isopods also went bonkers over it. I hadn't tried broccoli because I thought for sure they wouldn't like...

I usually get Cosmic Crisp apples, which most of the roaches seemed to enjoy. But they had Honeycrisp on sale so I got a bunch of those. I have apple almost every evening as a snack while watching tv and cut off some for the roaches and dice it up. They went bonkers over the Honeycrisp, it was...

I'm dying from the cuteness. Seriously, I'm dead. :love: The antenna are getting even fuzzier, they remind me of pipe cleaners. I want some! :ROFLMAO:

I'll give that a shot, thanks! :) Almost out of the dog food mine wouldn't touch so it's time to buy more

Hi everyone! I'm curious about what dog food you all use for your roaches? Mine have been eating either Wellness Core Digestive Health or Blue Buffalo Senior dog for the entire time I've had them and I've experienced no significant die offs, but I recently saw something about keeping protein...

I was thinking the same! But I love the fuzziness :D

I still have some, I currently have 15-20. I got suuuuuuper sick in December and I think some passed. I don't want to entirely dig up their enclosures so I'm watching the 5 I'm not sure of real close - they may be burrowed under and just in premolt. Most of mine are fossorial in nature, lol...

That's what I was thinking, especially with the ones who are so finicky for me. Thanks!
