I'm a little late, but they are great for a pet stop compared to most others. Care and information is a bit off with certain species. Last time I was there they had a veiled chameleon with MBD on their cards, and they tried to sell me a severely burned adult animal for full price (expensive!) Be...

Find Bill Oehlke. He always has lots of moths and a few different butterflies.

Kinda late response but, either way they are fine. They are green because the silkworm food actually contains leaves. The yellow chow is 100% artificial. I think you would be surprised about what they can feed on and still pupate.

Sometimes the 'armpit' circles are completely dark with European mantids too.

Hmm, I wonder if it was trying to sting me? I was too focused on its giant mandibles to notice!

I found one of these things and it scared the crap out of me when I caught it. I'd never seen one before. I am very glad I was wearing leather gloves as it was biting the crap out of them. I let it go, but it was really neat looking. It was huge at just over an inch. Anyone ever keep them? Are...

Painted lady butterflies are very easy to rear, breed, and keep. They will eat on their own, lay eggs even without a host plant, and the larvae can and will eat a chow if needed. Cabbage white butterflies are also very easy. They also feed readily, and lay readily but there are no chows that I...

I'm not sure that is a European mantis. I'm not seeing the "armpit circles" that they normally have.

I used to keep a small colony of cave crickets. They breed willingly with a moist substrate and live together just fine. I did get some cannibalism from time to time, but it was very minor. The major con for me was that they jump so well! I like to keep my bug tubs lid-less but with these I...

Why not try subbing the roaches in for the crickets? Or you can just wing it and cook them yourself and see what happens.

Depends on the temp, but at best they usually take two weeks or more. It also takes a while for the worm to pupate, about a week or so if they are of the proper size.

I dont know about this species, but with some very similar species you need to have them cut open and examined to check the species/if it's the same species.

Mealworms are more likely to cause an impaction because of their low meat to shell ratio. The superworm bite isn't reallybad at all. If you are concerned, crush their jaws before you feed them off. Superworms are less fatty too. They also gutload better than mealworms (meaning if a super and a...

Looks like the jumper sac to me. My females guard the eggs in their little hide aways, but they can be scared off. It's a bit hard to scare them out, but it can be done.

My roaches that burrow, burrow to the cool end if they are warm. I dont see how using bottom heat is a problem since the bugs know which end is which.

Sometimes you can find dubias for cheaper, but you have to search through all sorts of classifieds. I had around 700 mixed nymphs in a 10 gallon without any problems. There was a TON of frass, but other than that they were fine. Those cubes will work, but they are super expensive. water crystals...

I'll take some! :) The iso is probably a P. scaber.

I imagine if you contacted a well known dealer of these roaches they may be able to help you more. It's hard to give any/all the data that you need when we do not know what you need.

Poor bunny. I would try to catch it and if you cannot keep it, re-home it/give it to the SPCA. Bunnies can require a lot of space, so don't take keeping one lightly. Well, if you want to do what's best for them anyways.

I would just get someone to drop by once a week and feed/water them.
