I want to feed my Aussie frills some lobster roaches I just purchased, but I don't want to just throw them in the cage. Is there a spray or someway to prevent roaches from crawling up the side of the dish and hiding.

I do have a product called bug boundry that they can't climb past, but I'm not sure using in a reptile cage is a good ideal. This is the main reason why I switched to mainly dealing with non-climbers. I'm in the feeder classifieds section. I don't have this product on my website yet, but can sell it. Works really well for housing them.

Hi James and thanks for the info. Is this bug boundary bad for the frillies if they lick it, or eat a roach that may have it on their legs. I am not sure why you don't recommend using it in the cage.

Sorry been traveling. If its at the top where the frilleds can't get to it then it's fine. I don't like any chemicals in my cages. The roaches don't get it on them, but the frilleds could get it on their nails, possible in their mouth if it's on a food dish. I strongly recommend non-climbing roaches. I try and talk pretty much everyone out of lobsters, but most don't listen. If your patient you can easily build a colony and not have to deal with climbers.
