Roach collector Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I was wondering if anyone could tell me the care on this species? I'm thinking of starting a small colony and was wondering if their care is similar to other polyphagids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All About Arthropods Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I give them about 2 inches of substrate, I keep half moist and the other half relatively dry, but still not as dry as normal polyphagids' substrate. One tip that I have is that this species seems to enjoy supplemental foods way more than other polyphagids, and so you should offer them a decent amount of supplemental foods( fruits, vegetables, and protein in the form of dog food or fish food pellets.) Hope your E.sinensis do well for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach collector Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 thanks for the information. It sounds reletively straight forward. Can't wait to get my new sinensis! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice enclosure, looks like they're all set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
