Anyone kept roaches for their T's?

[Mitch]

Hi all.
I was visiting the local museum with the kids and started talkin to a man who breeds roaches for T's and thought I might do the same. Anyone had any experience with them? Are they escape artists? Dont like the thought of them running around the house. lol

roachs you can get are non infestition. they will die in a couple of days if they escape

I found them smelly , too fast and could escape through the smallest holes.

TBH they give me the creeps and my T`s didnt really go for them anyway , plus the thought of them escaping round the house just put me off !

I have four species of roaches for use as a supliment until they are reproducing enough yougn to relace what i use.
My roaches get huge though and take nearly two years to mature so im in no hurry for using them as main suppilement.
