    Housing different roaches together

    They have different requirements. Keep the species separate. Rhino roaches aren't so social anyways.

    Periplanets americana as feeders

    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.

    Red eyed feeder cricket

    Please don't infest
