Hissing Cockroaches in an Aboreal enclosure?

[Isopods others]

I have a 8 inch by 8inch by 10 inch aboreal enclosure and was wondering whether I could keep 1-2 Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches?

Absolutely! I have 4 males, and they love to climb.

I’ve seen them in small height arboreal set ups.

Great, and what should be the male to female ratio?

Great, and what should be the male to female ratio?

1 to 4 or 5. Maybe even 6. I actually have 6 females and a male in my enclosure. Sadly there was two males but one died after a while. He was always alone and chased off by the other dominant male.

Great thankyou

If you get any females, be prepared for nymphs. They are excellent escape artists and and there are quite a few each litter. Also, after females have mated, they'll remain fertile for the rest of their lives.

I wouldn't mind nymphs, So I'm not too worried about that
Thank-you for the heads up on them being escapes

I hated having hisser nymphs. They overpopulated like crazy. I also tried having two males together, but they fought and had to be separated.

I have a few months to consider this anyway since the current occupant will live a few more months,
