Dear Roachkeepers, I have a big problem. Yesterday I have cleaned my dubia bin because of mites and invading crickets. I put all dubias in a bucket and then washed the bin and cooked the substrate. Then I had have to go to work and left the roaches in the bucket for approx. 8 hours. At night...

Dear Roachkeepers, I am a member of a European roach fan group on Facebook and early in the month someone posted a photo about a new species. Here is the picture: Someone said it is Gyna caffrorum (Stål, 1856) from South Africa. What do you think about it? I have never saw this species in...

Hi, I just bought 3 female and 2 male E. javanica. My question is can I keep them with my G. portentosa roaches or they can make hybrids? This housing is a temporary solution so I will make a new enclosure for javanicas.
