All my cockroaches loved the leftover turkey I had from Thanksgiving. I gave the dark meat because the skin and some white meat had butter and pepper on it the dark meat was deep in so the ingredients don't reach it. They enjoyed it very much!

I noticed when my hissers fight they ram eachother but also use their abdomen to swing at the other like we would a baseball bat, sending the other roach tumbling. You can't get a roach tougher than a male Hisser!

I was reading that hissing cockroaches recognize one another by familiar hisses, like you and I recognize friends and family by how they sound. This also might prevent 2 males who already battled each other to get into another fight as they recognize one another and avoid conflict, and hissing...

Can anyone explain why an otherwise healthy, adult male cockroach suddenly develops a prolapse and dies days later? I heard of females getting this but never males?

I REALLY want one to have as a pet! Question is does the female side give birth or is it sterile?

Both red/white or one black one red/white eye is acceptable too. Looking to breed them they are special.

from birth to adulthood, how many times does a hisser shed in its lifetime, is it the same amount for males and females?

These are the crickets most commonly used as feeders. I've had many escape in my basement and they lived but did not breed. I've had some free outside in warm weather near houses and garages but yet again after no breeding. So how were these found in the wild???

This is the place to share names you gave some of your pet cockroaches so others have ideas. Hisser names Tiger (tiger Hisser) Curly (had a deformed antennae whole life) Monty Dubia names Blaze (for blazing speed of males) Psycho (a male that went after every cockroach for no reason and...

Is there a way to upload videos here if I don't want to use YouTube?

You know how B craniifer has a face pattern on its pro thorax, could the face pattern actually be there to fool predators into thinking being the "face" is watching above a predator won't sneak up to eat the cockroach? Or it looks intimidating like another animal to keep predators away? I'm...

Can anyone tell me what species of blaberus can hybridize with each other? In the past I had a male giganteus mate with a female fusca. No offspring resulted but that might have been to me keeping them cool all year and females died so I never tried it again under proper conditions. If they...
