Baby Rhinos!

[Matt K]

So, what's the price on the rhinos?


How about giving me a call then you dead old fart.

Roachman- if you need anything, let me know! BTW, Quetzal says "hi" (among other things!) - had a good visit at his place in Costa Rica two years ago this week....

I couldnt take it anymore and had to count the babies. There were 27 babies!! YAAY!!!! They are REALLY fat! They have been chowing down on something. They look like those honey pot ants.. or really fat termites

Awesome. Wishing you great luck in raising them to adult hood.

(...and subsequently, to "sale hood"...:drool: )

hehe, why thankyou. Im not worried about raising them. I was sucessful with the parents when they were smaller. Why not the babies too.
Im going to be selling 10 of them. Already sent 4 off to a new home. I cant tell what sex they are.. but they sure are cute.

Congrats! I'm really jealous.

I'm hoping that there will be an abundance of these guys in the US over the next few years. along with a price drop ;-)

Rhino's

Congrats Again! This morning I found one of my babies dead.

Now I'm down to 4 and totally heartbroken.

What types of food are you feeding them?

 

[Matt K]

Give them oak leaves and little else.

@ ilovebugs- you have a very LONG wait and it will take more than a few years- they dont even mature until they are 5 years old in good conditions, 7 in poor conditions, and then a year to produce a batch of offspring. Prices dropping are not likely within this decade. Possible but I would still be suprised if the price dropped within 20 years.

Did it mismolt? Are you keeping them too dry? What are you feeding them?

 

[HankyPankyRoe]

I've been feeding the Oak Leaves that I collect in the fall, and the substrate is damp, but not overly soaked. I've heard of others feeding them Walnut Leaves and fish food, but they seem to be doing just fine with the Oak.

I think I'm overly protective of them, lol. I'll let the kids play with the 4 kinds of hissers I keep, but it's no touchy when it comes to them.

Dream Vacation......Australia. Can anyone guess why?

You';re not feeding them any dog food or fruit?

Food

My other Roaches are fed a variety diet, but from what I read on The Roach Forum, it was strictly Hardwood Leaves.:?

Mine have never shown an interest in dog food. I've never seen them eat fish food either. Only hardwood leaves, twigs, and apples. They also eat the wet paper towels and toilet paper I keep in their enclosures to provide moisture.
