lobster roaches

[J1346]

does anybody have any thoughts or info on lobster roaches?

anything from nutritional value to ease of colonizing and anything in between.

nutrition wise they're as good as any other roach. they multiply way faster than dubias thou so the population can easily explode. another thing is that they run fast as compared to dubias and can climb even glass! so u would need to put a layer of oil or smth slick on the walls of ur enclosure so they wont escape. hope this helps!

1. They can climb smooth surfaces
2. They reproduce like crazy.
3. They eat more than dubia, discoid or hissers which says you can gut load them really well.
4. They are faster than a dubia but not as fast as a turkistan.

I personally hand feed these to my group. They all love them.

thanks. so any advice on housing to keep escapes from happening? I would hate to have to try keep ones from escaping every time i opened the container.
