First Instar
Hello, I am new here. Made my account about a week or so ago and finally decided to say watsup!
I love anime, recently started cosplaying, and I own 2 ferrets and a cat who kills most insects that sneak in.
I recently found out the roach I caught a month ago is a Smoky Brown Roach after it molted into an adult. (Periplaneta fuliginosa) I have it in a 10gal tank right now but plan to move it into a more secure container in the future. Once I can finish off those pickles -.-
I have a question. Is the care for Smokey brown roach the same as an American cockroach since they are closely related? Is there any way to tell gender other than the styli? I am positive mine is a female
Does anyone have any experience or advice about them? Mine always is hiding and doesnt seem to eat much so I am wondering if its normal behavior.
Thanks you guys and nice to meet you all!
