Roaches again Sorry......

dragonbirds Oct 21, 2004 04:35 PM

Where is the best place to buy lobster roaches? These are the ones that cannot fly or climb glass right? Also I will need a good care sheet and can people please show some pics of the containers you house your roaches in and what you are feeding.

Thanks in advance,
Shannon

No, lobster CAN climb glass and flutter (they don't really fly). There's not much to keeping them, a good thick coat of vasaline or bug stop about 4 inches wide all the way across the top of your container and a screen lid will keep them in. Keep them warm and they'll breed like mad. I feed them laying mash and leftover beardie salad and then spray them down every few days.
