I keep my hissing roaches in a 6x2x2 feet terrarium, and 3 have died . The decor is Spanish moss, sheet moss and sphagnum moss. As for wood, I use cork bark and oak wood and oak leaves.the substrate is eco earth, sand from Home Depot and coconut husk. I feed them fruits and veggies and the box has a mesh lid, but I water them every day.

The 2 that died before were around 2 inches long, but the one that died today was not fully grown I think

I had a few orange heads die because they Matured too small and others for no reason.. how many do you have in total ?
pictures are definitely helpful, to narrow down if anything looks wrong.

why are they outlawing everything? These pets can’t survive the freezing 🥶 temperatures of Canada.

They were never legal. They are not outlawing more. Just more people interested in more species.

only zoos and educative reasons can have them. I would need to get a lot of paper work done. And atleast do some sort of educational activity. I could. But i don’t want to. Children ask too many questions. Adults don’t think enough.

yes. Winter. Our winter is the eliminator. And yet…

we can barely manage to keep our native species alive in good numbers. Our most special species, like forest caribou. And they like winter.
