Didn't see that one coming!

I'm starting to combine again. I used to but after a while it was either cull to keep numbers in check or separate. I don't really sell or have anything to feed. But if you have that many T's all is good!

Also, if any species lays ootheca keep watch that they aren't being eaten.

If they have the same care it'll work. Keep an eye out for one species outcompeting the others. You may have to refresh the bin sooner. 😁

50% will still work for a lot of roaches. Sounds like the room may be taking away the humidity, especially if you are using a furnace to warm the house.

I'm curious what substrate you use. This is the glass tank with the lid configuration you describe above? Also what is humidity in the room where the roaches are kept?

Personally I would house them together. It could be like Captain Ahab and the white whale or Captain Kirk and Khan lol.

I'm not qualified to answer that. I have no idea how to measure cockroach loneliness

Housing them together shouldn't be a problem. They will most likely hiss and one may show some dominance but they are unlikely to hurt each other. If you can get a couple nymphs they will live longer. Does the lab house them all separately?

He can most likely breed yes. The adult females are almost certainly already pregnant if they came to you as adults.

She is a hisser, yes? If so than what she may be doing is "airing out" her ootheca. It is kind of difficult to see in that photo to be honest. Hopefully that's all it is, and it is normal for her to do so once mature and breeding.
