KEEPING COCKROACHES
Any aquarium with a suitable well fitting mesh lid will do for housing they are particularly good at escaping as they can walk up glass ( however in this country you have no worry about infestation from the species we offer as they require high temperatures in order to breed.)
The temperature can range from 18 to 30c with the higher temperature promoting breeding. We find the best heating method is a standard light bulb which allows for a more natural heat from above allowing for the cockroaches to burrow to lower there temperature.
SUBSTRATE
We find the best substrate to be leaf litter or peat to a depth of approx. l5 cm this should be kept moist at the base level and allowed to dry on the surface.
FEEDING
As true omnivorous scavengers cockroaches eat just about everything so offer a range of fruit. veg, bread, cereal in fact try it. if it's not eaten the following day remove it.
Don't hesitate to contact us for more information or questions on the care of particular species.
