New with Roaches

[magikscorps]

Can I house two species of roaches together? Say Hissers & B.dubia?

Sure you could house them together, they can not interbreed, butt.....I have heard that adult hissers will eat the nymphs of dubias.

I keep them together and haven't seen any eating, doesn't mean there hasn't been though. They're in a display tank with leaves and bark etc. That might keep the amount of predation down.

How many do you have co-habitating together?

 

[Andrew273]

4 Adult hissers, about 20 something adult dubia, and god knows how many nymphs... There's also two AGB's, I suspect if anyone is eating babies it would be them.

Aren't millipedes herbivores?

 

[Andrew273]

Millis are detrivors (I can't spell, it's too early in the morning). Honestly I have yet to find something they won't eat. I heard someone say that they'd been bitten because the millies didn't have enough protein in their diet. I didn't believe it until one gnawed on me while I was showing her to a friend. It didn't hurt really, just weird. But yeah, I suspect they eat a few nymphs now and then.
