No that’s the mom. She just hadn’t moved honestly in a couple of days. I was actually wondering if she hadn’t made it. The egg cluster had detached and quite frankly I thought we had more time before we had to get a screen for the top. We have added a layer of protection even though now I know...

Omg I turned around to see this. I almost peed myself. Little embarrassing but seriously like wasn’t prepared for this. Definitely have to get a screen before the babies are born. So glad I was willing to sacrifice the cooling rack. I wasn’t prepared.

This is literally the only herb I have not killed . I got a cilantro at the same time and it died. Got another: dead. My theory is that cilantro knows I don’t like it so it refuses to reward me to the point of its demise.

Y’all all this talk of them eating their way out is freaking me out

Fresh broccoli leaves (because they were sold as “vegetable” for .37 and I’m a curious sort) and we didn’t have a screen so since they aren’t really moving and the eggs haven’t hatched I’m thinking we have time before we need to switch from the cookie cooling sheet . I couldn’t sleep without...

Hi! This place is great!

It may be worth noting that the feeders are in the same type of container, out in the open and they eat like they are never going to eat again. Which, you know, for about twenty of them a day is the case.

One thing, in my experience, was that my dubia roaches fed better and seemed less stressed after being moved into the opaque container. Doubled their feeding response within a few days. If yours are in a transparent container, you may want to try that. So with space being an issue, part of...

Well, due to space constraints they are in a smaller bin than when we started. It’s clear but they are in a dark space under the viv. This is the only way we have found to get humidity in there. Misting was causing problems. I can see a couple of females with egg sacks and we have a good ratio...

My lateralis, dubia, and lobster colonies are pretty well established already (surprise, surprise, right? I swear those things will breed no matter what). When you say that, how do you mean? We have had to restock Dubia Roaches for feeders while waiting months for our colony to establish...

Awe. Thanks. I’m never really sure if im doing it right! Thank you. ☺️

Fresh greens, moist soil, and I repurposed our dragon’s first uvb light and rigged it up when it was in a salad container in the kitchen. With the five gallon tank, the light is my only concern. I didn’t expect it to be a long term thing. I also managed to keep some basil alive by that light...

Having seen chick feed twice I’m wondering if that’s what the roach chow is. I remarked to y husband that it looks like bird seed just the other day.

Yes. I wasn’t sure. Husband and google confirmed. He was like “so you don’t want it to get cold and lose its babies right? Okay let’s figure out what to do with it”. I can’t help it.

The pregnancy reveal is a huge moment in any snail’s life. Had I not picked it up (they are hermaphroditic so it’s an it) we never would have known. I really do think it’s cool. It’s more of a space issue at this point because we are about to set them up in a five gallon tank a friend happened...

I read beer in an orange peel makes a good trap. If we didn’t have such bad ants I would be more willing to try something like this.
