Dorylaea orini

[Áron Horvath]

I am interested in this cockroach. Please help me. What are the needs for keeping and breeding?

Hi Aron,

Did you get a source of livestock? It's not as common as it used to be. What kind of details are you looking for? It's kept like other tropical egg layers. 75-85F, some humidity for eggcases. Dog food and some fruit for feeding.

[Allpet Roaches]

What size cage? At least 2-gallon (8-liter)What temperature? 75-85F.

What humidity? Medium to high.

What substrate? 1/2" of potting soil is fine.

Can they climb glass? Yes.

...But they are FAST moving as anything! And they can leap over greasy barriers during a sprint.... yikes! :blink:

They have a similar disposition to Eurycotis but can't walk across barriers as nymphs.
