    Pavlov's Roaches?

    Hi everybody, I was wondering if anyone else experienced things like Pavlov's dogs with their roaches. I started using some chicken feed (no chemicals) for my roaches. That stuff stinks I'm telling you! Anyway the roaches love it and come running like a mad dog when I feed it to them. At first I...

    some sort of fly trouble

    I've got what I thought were fruit flies. They showed up after getting a watermelon. The flies are pestering my Dubias and also my super worms. They are getting unbearable. The dubias have been changed to a brand new container with new bedding and roach flats. It seems like I have had quite a...

I found many oothecae in one particular box that was full of fabric and sewing patterns. So my thought was momma roach thought my patterns...

Would like to get rid of the whole kit and kabootle. If you could please spread the word around I would...

    protrusion

    I have a female Dubia with a fairly large protrusion coming from her vent, at least I think it's the vent. I'm positive it's not a nymph, and it's much larger than a nymph would be, different color too. It looks like a big blob of marshmallow. I havent given any marshmallows ever so I know it's...

    How long will a lateralis stay fertile with no male around?

    I got an order of lobsters some months back that had 6 female turks and 1 male. The male died about 3 months ago but the females are still dropping oothecaes. I seperated 3 of the females into their own bin. I didn't put a lid on because I figured that they couldn't climb and I was safe from...

    2 dubia nymphs died, why?

    I have several hundred dubias. I noticed 2 days ago a nymph on its side. When I picked it up it was dead. Same thing yesterday only this one was near dead. They were fairly large nymphs but not the same age. The first one was about the size of a dime and the second was about the size of a...

    Blatta lateralis oothecae

    I have several questions but I'm not sure how to word them. I received about 6 female and 1 male turkistan roaches in an order of lobsters. My only male died a month ago, yet I see a few females still laying oothecaes. Are they fertile? I've had these roaches since mid summer. I don't think any...

    My first "oh thats so sweet" moment

    My peanut butter captain crunch cereal was a bit stale this morning. I wondered if my roaches would eat it. The answer is OH YEAH! I saw a tiny one( dubia) trying to drag a whole puff across the bin. The puff was twice as big as her, that was my oh ins't that sweet? moment. My lobsters eat...

    how often do lobsters give (birth?)?

    I was wondering many nymphs would a lobster have in a year? 30-40 each time, but how often do they reproduce? Would they have some every 2 weeks? Every month? Or 1 time a year? I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.

    Escaping male Dubias

    Hi all, I'm new to this. This site seems much easier to navigate for us new ones, so thanks for all the info! I have some ?'s if I may? I have about 200 dubia (not sure) lots of adults but more nymphs. I noticed several males that escaped. I have a lid on their enclosure so I wasn't sure what...
