Ok - I'm seriously stoked about my roaches.  WAYYY TOO EXCITED over these bugs.  😁  My first batch should be here Friday and I ordered more last night so I could be sure to have some adults.  I'll be getting about 200 roaches in all.  I got the 2nd group from a different place.  I don't know if there are any negative side-effects to roaches inbreeding, but I wanted them to have the option not to.  😂

I've got 30 adult females and 10 adult males coming - plus some babies - so hopefully that will be enough to get a good colony going.  😃  We need easily accessible roaches around here.  I've read up on the pro's and con's of the dubia and how they compare to crickets and I just don't know why anyone would feed their animals crickets after all I've found out.  😳

You can fill your animals up faster on roaches because they are meatier and they have a better meat:shell ratio.  They are also quieter than crickets, can't jump like crickets, and EVEN BETTER, they don't stink like crickets!  They also can live up to 2 years so it's not like you have to worry about them dying off really fast.

I'm not trying to get TOO ahead of myself, but if I can grow a roach colony big enough to sustain my girls I'd be willing to sell some of the rest if anyone is interested.  🙂
