they have to go. I was hoping Luna would love them again as much as she did before her gravid "issues" LOL! But alas, she does not. I have at least 50 adults along with some nymphs (not sure where the heck they came from! haha!) I have not kept them warm so reproduction was nil during the winter.

email me directly

she will probably come around to them again...do you feed them from a cup or let them roam??...i definetly don't want them because i keep mine warm and i have thousands (gotta keep the horn frog and pixie frog fat and happy)...how could you give up such a cute and cuddly pet??

She has had LOTS of opportunity and with silkies, butters, crix and supers she doing fine I ran out of crix last week so she was getting mainly butters and supers but I'll tell you - when I offered her crix again today she trips over herself going for them!

I don't let the roaches roam b/c they will end up in or under a pot or get out. If I had some non-climbers (might try them someday) I would leave a cup in the cage but I have to monitor them now - frankly, with all I have going on I can't be bothered. Very busy summer coming up ;-/

As for giving them up - well, my friend who is having me babysit her frog (found out is is an African Clawed frog) is also having me care for her dozen or so hissers so I will have cockroach company - and they really will be pets!
