New Roaches

[dragonfire1577]

Just figured I would share my new Macropanesthia rhinoceros pair with you all, they are really cute and seem to be doing well for me. Also Roachforum saw them first if anyone recognizes my username and the photos from there.

Congrats on the new additions!

Here is an update for everyone!

Another molting pic

So the one who hasn't molted should be any day now, I will also be upgrading them to a larger setup soon!

Very nice! Definitely on my list to add to the collection.

Is it true that these guys like oak leaves rather than just eucalyptus? I've always wanted these.

 

[ScaryGhosts]

Wow, so cute! May I ask how you got these in the U.S.? Been hoping to get some of my own.

They came from a breeder at an expo a while back. Bugs in cyberspace did breed them successfully fairly recently though, not sure if he plans to sell any.

Okay, thanks for the help. I could find any way to get them here via googling but i see a few people selling them in the U.S. on here. Do you know if they can be housed with a madagascar or would that be a terrible idea?

Based on the difference in care and high cost of rhino roaches, I wouldn't do it even though they probably wouldn't hurt each other.

Wow, aren't those worth hundreds of dollars? Either way, they look great! I love those spiny legs!

 

[JustSatanThings]

Ohh how exciting! They're absolutely adorable.

Very nice "albino" rhino roach.
