I have three Bess Beetles and maybe 15 Brown Hooded Cockroaches in a five gallon with 2 in. of Eco Earth with some Forest Floor bedding. I also have a few pieces of rotting wood that both insects spend most of their time in. I mist once a day. That is about it for how I care for them. Is there any thing I'm missing or is there anything I need to change? Is it okay to house both insects together? I'm also thinking about adding a few millipedes to the mix. I caught the BHC and BB in the same area. Should I offer the BHC some carrots or something like that like most cockroaches eat? I have read that BHC eats mostly the wood like the BB. I had recently housed just one BHC in a little container with some snails and would throw in a carrot and the carrot would be mostly gone by the end of the day but, I never witnessed the BHC eating the carrot. I do know by the way, that housing one roach by itself will give it depression that's why I went out and tried to catch some more. That's how I ended up with around 15 BHCs. I have heard that BHCs are hard to care for but so far I have had zero problems or deaths. Would adding millipedes and/or isopods be a good idea? I will get them from the same spot that I got everything else.
