Another roach pic.

Another roach pic.  Sorry to anyone who is squeamish.  I just get so excited about them!  They seem to be doing well, and it makes me really happy.  😃

So, I fed them just the other day, and all of their food was gone when I checked on them tonight.  So I started dumping in more stuff, and they just started swarming out.  Poor starving roaches.

I read that they can eat fish food, so that's what they got tonight.  I had tons left over, and since I have no fish, and no plans to get more fish, I figured I'd make use of it.  So, those orange things are shrimp puffs, not cheese puffs.  Though I'm sure they'd eat those, too.

So you see those egg crates?  I've got about 12 glued together and stood up like that, and it's full of roaches.  They don't all come out and eat at one time.  And the babies seem to stay on the crates.  I read that they eat the frass (grown roach poop), so they probably don't have a need to venture out to scavenge until they are a little older.

I wish I knew how many I had.  I think I started with around 200.  They seem to be breeding a lot, as there are babies every time I look in there.  Woohoo!  😃
