Where are everybody getting their roaches from, please?
We have mantids coming.... We want a larger variety of food stuffs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

www.blaberus.com .. i just ordered a starter package from them of dubias and it came yesterday and 2 of my females just each laid a case of eggs.... anyone know how long they take to hatch and how many i can be expecting ??

That's interesting......
Dubias don't lay eggs, they are ovoviviporous (live bearing).

Thanks ... I'll go with blaberus.com
I will wait for them before setting up a farm for theim. Any suggestions on a compact, functioning habitat for them? What are you feeding them?
Sorry, but I've only seen a roach one time in my life. I know very little about them.

Check out www.nyworms.com They have a huge variety and have always arrived in great shape.

Thanks Chuck... that's a great reccomendation. I take it, that's a New York company? Are you also located on the East Coast? Just trying to access the amount of time the worms would be in the post for me in California.

Check with Reptayls.com... Prices are good and count is even better. I think she's got mostly lobsters and hissers, but she definately has some other species. Gutloads and crystals too.
