Why you should use Lobster Roaches
They do not harbour diseases. They are 100% healthy and on comparison 100% better than crickets, reasons you ask?
1. they don’t smell
2.they breed faster yet can't infest.
3.they don’t chirp.
4.if you leave them in the viv they wont nibble on your animal.
5.they don’t die off as easily.
7.they eat anything
8.if they do get out, they will die in a matter of days, or go out side because they'd rather burrow in rotten logs.
9. their chitin rate is low, so you can be a bit over the size range and wont impact your animal as easily.
10. they are soft bodied and packed with protein
11. they are the best bug out there!!

try phoning him dean, the missus ordered some of these over the weekend and he was quite helpfull with set-up conditions.

hi dean, we bought 300 starter colony from rickeeze, keep them in a heated faunarium(just a heatmat) provide water dish (shallow) and lots of egg cartons for hiding feed greens and hey presto lots and lots of babies. the beardies cant get enough of them. oh and put vaseline round the top of faunarium and no escapees

DeanThorpe · #7 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 11:27 AM

and you leave the eggs in there? and just sort them as you like once they are hatched? can u see the eggs so iu dont throw them away when cleaning? do they bury them? or stick them to the egg cartons? id use toilet roll tubes/kitchen roll tubes prolly as thats what i use for my crix etc as i have an endless supply

ditta · #8 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 11:34 AM

have never seen eggs, the babies just seem to appear apart from taking out dead food i have not cleaned them out they dont smell they dont seem to poo everywhere, their droppings are very dry and not a lot, we use toilet tubes too they love hiding, i just feed em and leave em they doing great and breeding loads
