Are they supposed to be beetle mimics, because they look very much like beetles.

HEllo Dexter,
Hey Put me down on the waiting list for both of the Therea sp roaches.

Can the two species live together or will they interbreed? How do you care for these? What do they eat? Are they the fruit and table scrap eating type or leave litter eating type?

Do these have a common name? I clicked on your "my animals" link, quite an impressive list. I see you keep these. What do you feed them? Do they need high humidity? I had five of the Therea petiveriana but two died, that's when I threw in dried oak leaf and increased humidity, but I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Any help would be appreciated, I want to keep the three I have and hopefully add to my collection, but not until I know the proper care for them.

Question Mark Cockroach (look at it from the side)
Cockroach Common names
Therea eat dog food and fruit but need some rotten hardwood leaves in the diet (oak, beech, elm, etc.) somewhat decayed and crushed. Decent humidity is necessary but sopping wet substrate will eventually lead to death (always damp, never dry or too wet).
