Can you safely heat a plastic container with a UTH or is a heat bulb better? Can you build a cage where they are suspended from the bottom and their poop will just fall through? Like an all mesh cage or will they eat through it? and will the babies fall through?
Thats too bad. Otherwise it would make them even easier to care for. So Rubbermaids are the best for them. Also are roaches good at escaping?
yea rubbermaids with egg crate are the best. it depends what kind you get. lobster escapees are common. turks, dubias, and many other non climbing species are fine though, even if one or two gets out they will die, not enough heat.
Well I am planning on Lobster because they are the smallest and I will be feeding them to my leopard gecko and some of the baby roaches to my anoles.
look at turkistan roaches, thats what i personally use. they are the size of an adult cricket and are the fastest breeders out of all the roaches. $22 per 1000 at aaronpauling.com
They look so much better than Lobster, http://www.nyworms.com/turkistancare.htm This website has a lot of good information but sadly not good prices.
