What kind of habitat would be good for them? as in what kind of cage, that is secure enough to not let them escape? What kind of bug barrier would work?They do seem to need a substrate, coconut fiber works fine, and they like things humid, not necessarily moist, just humid will work, (they aren't all that picky though). They like a somewhat roomy enclosure with lots of hides, if they get too crowded they start nipping each other's antennae a lot. Other than that, care is similar to hissers, the same diet will work for them, they breed at the same temperatures, they can climb so airtight lids are preferable, etc.
You're gonna want something like this for them, with small holes or screen mesh added for ventilation. The nymphs could easily get out from a kritter keeper type enclosure, the holes are too big.
These are the cheapest containers I've found for the size and type. With these you don't ever have to worry about the possibility of escapees......as long as the foam seal doesn't get chewed up. I would still recommend applying a thin layer of Vaseline around the top of the lid to prevent this chewing behavior from taking place along with eliminating the chance of any roaches escaping when the container is open.
