They can make very fast breeding healthy feeders but they are a pest species and can set up shop if they get loose. There are many other species that offer superior benefits without the unneccesary risk.
Actually the reasons for crickets and mealworms being the go to is because of availability. Before people were keeping reptiles and invertebrates, people were fishing. So crickets and mealworms were commercially bred as fish bait. So before reptile keepers started happening, the...
I do not think it will work out so well. isopods need it very humid. They are crustaceans I believe. Crickets need it drier. I think those differences would make it problematic. Vootie!
Hello,
It has been ten years and I am just now posting in this thread. Then again it took me ten years to realize I have been here for ten years. Havent been on in a while and would like to say thank you to those who have been supportive over the years.
I registered here at the request of...
I like to get them early and hard. When I see an ant, or a few from different areas in the house and I don't know where they are coming from, this is what I do. I put food out in the room for them
things they cant resist. In the morning a huge amount will be there in nice organized lines...
leucistic
Leucistic is not the same as albino. An easy way to tell leucistic is the reptiles are pure white but the eyes are pigmented. They can be black or blue for instance, but the body is always pure solid white. Albinism in reptiles is different as far as looks go and in fact occur two...

Yes indeed they do burrow as do pretty much all members of the genus Blaberus. Oddly however giganteus seem to be more vertically inclined than other species of the genus. its been a while since I have been around but it seems people have asked where i have been so I have returned.
Vootie...
When in grade school there were colonies of red ants and black ants. it seemed the black ants won by swarming over the red ants and getting them through sheer weight of numbers.
They do not breed or grow as fast as other commonly used feeders, such as dubia or discoids as an example. if yo uwant something big Blaberus fusca breed fast or Blaberus colosseus.

They infest cultures thats how come you might also find them in cricket shipments and other places. They are difficult to get rid of once they become established. They arent purposely put in with crickets you buy or other colonies they just cant get rid of them all or dont bother to try...
Inferior containers
Tanks make unsatisfactory roach enclosures. They are heavy, hard to clean and let light in. Screen tops also allow other insects to either get into the enlcosure or lay their eggs in it and do not hold any humidity. You are better served using opaque, smooth not matte...
