Hello, last year between december-january I did a massive cleanup cause american cockroaches built a a colony inside my dubia bin, thanks to that my dubia population decreased I remember when I put the roaches back in the bin all cleaned up they were like 100-150 and spotted only 1 male, they've...

Even though I no longer keep reptiles I still have my roach colonies (hissing roaches, dubia roaches, lobster roaches, red runner roaches) currently I feed my roaches carrots, potatoes and oats to keep the colony alive. I have some sealed box cereals that expired recently, my question is can I...

I have a question can I feed my roaches turtle food pellets and parakeet food blend? is it safe? I currently give them quaker oats and before that dog/cat food but I'm not sure they can eat turtle food and parakeet food so let me know 🤔

What happens if I stop giving my roaches vegetables and only feed them oats/dog food? would they still survive and breed?

Hello recently I got some plastic shelves but my bins won't fit, I want to know if you guys can give me a specific brand of shelves I can use, my bins are 18 inches tall so what I need is spacing between shelves to be between 18 and 20 inches, I got 4 bins being used an 1 empty so a 4 tier shelf...

I'm thinking to shrink my colonies because I no longer keep reptiles & invertebrates like in the past so can you guys help me telling me each roach's money worth for dubia, red runner and lobster? I'm not planning to sell by bulk but would consider 100 to 500 if some guy asked me I have no...

Hello I've noticed some of the red runners bred in my room, the other day I cleaned one of my rodents cage, there was babies and a few adults running around at the bottom (floor) then sometimes when I turn on the light I see babies on top of the containers of my other colonies I'm guessing some...

Awhile ago a guy from here said he was gonna make video tutorials on how to clean the red runner's bin and sort the roaches but he never did the other day I wanted to pick up a lot of males for my reptile but they run super fast I tried grabbing them by hand but every time they ran to hide I...

I noticed my red runner colony is overcroading and it's been only 1 year but I've been having lots of adults at the top of the container they're not afraid of me anymore they just pop out of nowhere I sometimes have to shake the egg flats to scare them, last year I used to let the lid open while...

Few weeks ago it was so hot that some giant roach got inside and it was terrorizing me in my room flying around the freaking thing flew straight to my face so I had to run off, then days afterwards I spotted another one in my room but this one didn't fly it lived in my room for some days and...

Something strange/odd happened to me, a few weeks ago I opened the lid to feed my lobster colony and then right when I was about to put the food inside a huge red cockroach was staring at me in one of the egg flats, where did that come from? I started my colony with about 40 lobsters and other...

I used to feed my hissing & dubia cat food but due to economically reasons I cannot longer afford that is it okay if I feed them dog food instead? we get huge bags of dog food I was wondering what was the difference between feeding cat & dog food or is there none?

I'm trying to sell my hissing colony tried posting the ad in 3 sites but 2 of them deleted my ads, is there sites or places you recommend me to advertise my roaches? I need them to be gone before May also I'm selling the whole colony not interested in mailing a few roaches it's too much work I...

Awhile ago I got a bigger tub and switched my first old dubia colony to that tub my mistake was getting 4 pieces of mesh screen and put them together with tape, I don't know why but they've been escaping since then (I do not worry because I have A LOT) seems each day 5 to 10 escape now my...

Hey I was wondering are hissers happy in a overcrowded colony? there's so many now I was thinking to move them to a big glass tank but It's risky because if for some reason it breaks all of them would escape also I thought of releasing some outside but they might not survive if someone sees one...

Hi there! 2 days ago I went to feed my red runners and saw 4 babies out of the bin attached to some old cardbox seems they are escaping thru the bin handlers you know where the security locks are at the sides? to lock the lid? the small ones squeeze through that and get out :( :( is there a...

One of my juveline medium sized dubia roaches was in my glass of water, I drank from it until I noticed the roach swimming it must have fell from the top of the enclosure I still don't know how they are escaping I secured it recently well anyways will I get sick??? this roach obviously was not...

I want to have some pet roaches in the near future because all I got is feeders besides my hissers can you guys recommend me the cheapest & best low maintenance roaches? if I can keep them in plastic bins it'd be better because glass tanks are harder to clean but I'm ok with glass tanks as well

With 3 colonies and working on a new colony I ran out of space, I got three 40 gallon bins and one 45 gallon bin was wondering if any of you guys could provide me a link so I can get some metal/wooden racks that way I'll have more space, for example if I had 1 with the appropiate measurements...
