And my storrs monitor. They eat them, the lobsters clean the cage up which is a good point to them, all of the above mentioned lizards used to like them more than crickets, I guess since they are always there they just dont show the same interest that they show in crickets which run out easily.
Lobster roaches breed like crazy, I help supply a friend with large amounts from my colony as he sells them faster than he can breed them sometimes. They breed in the cages fast enough that I dont need to replenish them but on very rare occasions.
The draw back is that any cage you use must be able to be painted with bug boundry to prevent escapes as they are great climbers.

Where do you get this bug boundary stuff? Home Depot Maybe or is it something you have to purchase online? Thanks for the help.
