    So many new species!

    A couple years ago I had to sell off most of my roach colonies due to life circumstances, so I've been out of the hobby for a little bit. I'm just now beginning to get back into it in a serious way and it seems like while I was gone the hobby exploded with new species! I used to recognize just...

    Counting question

    So up until now, I have been hand counting my roaches. I was wondering how much a hundred dubia of various sizes would weigh. I need to deal with a large amount and can't possibly count them. I know it can't be exact, but that's not what I'm looking for, just an easier way to count roaches. Any...

    Cleaning Question

    When you guys are cleaning your larger dubia bins how do you prevent a significant loss of nymphs? It's impossible for me to dig through the old molts and frass to find them all, is there any easy way to separate them? Or is losing some just part of cleaning the bins? (I'd like to think not)

    Sharing my pain

    Lesson learned. Never let other people move your roaches. I lost an entire colony because my mom left my roaches in her car while she made an hour long stop. It's 105 degrees. I lost 100 dollars of roaches and 600 isopods. No more Panchlora nivea for me I guess... she doesn't understand why I'm...

    Mites

    Since I've started heating my tanks I have had an explosion of grain mites. Aside from being kind of gross, are these doing any harm to my roaches in large amounts? If they're not then I'll leave them be, they don't bother me, but if they are I need to overhaul my tanks. TIA.

    Porcellio scaber

    I recently went to a friend's un-pesticided yard and collected a ton of these guys, I'm really impressed by their mold control abilities. They are doing really great and there's already new babies! My question is, I see them standing on each other while the top one taps the bottom one with its...

    A Simple Observation

    I have a little critter keeper that I keep on my desk. I've been rotating different species out of this for the last few weeks because I like having something to stare at when I should be doing something more important. Today I put some N. cinerea in there and WOW, they are super active the...

    A. tesselata HELP!

    I got some A. tesselatas in the mail today and one of them is real beat up. It looks ok on visual inspection but it is struggling to get around. I put it alone in a "rehab" tank to see if it will bounce back but watching it move is just pitiful, I really don't want to put it out of its misery if...

    "Ninja" Roaches!

    So, I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was check my roach bins. To my surprise there was a hisser nymph, about 3 weeks old, chilling on my dubia bin. I JUST re-petroleum jellied my hisser tank! I have NO clue how it got high enough in the tank to slip out of the lid. I chased it...
