Yeah, considering how big the hissing babies are at birth,I think I am better off not dealing with them. I think I will try dubia instead. I want to have more than one food source for my T's. I have Blatta Lateralis already (8 starters). I was reading a thread last night and think I might try catching some grasshoppers to try and breed. But I will spend time from now til spring to learn what kind are in Ohio and which kind don't get really big and are going to be a threat to my T's.
Right. I got 3 females and 1 male and I don't know how many I have now. When the Lats and the Dubia weren't producing these guys were still going like crazy. They can be a pain too to keep in the tanks. I finally got the problem fixed with tape and Vaseline and a water tight seal. Somehow my nymphs were making it past the Vaseline on the old container and hiding out in the lip.
