That is all I've got right now? I KNOW I'll be back with more. Have a great day everybody, and thanks in advance!

Okay, more.

Do females need to mate every time, or are they like some insects where they only need to mate once and will then produce broods over thier lifetime?

How are roaches most commonly shipped?

Will solitary males be depressed or anything? I read that they are community bugs and like to live in groups.

I believe that Xelda, who has previous posts here can answer your questions on her website. I believe it is: www.bugchick.com

That didn't help as much as I had hoped, but I might not be looking in the right spot.

Thanks, though.
