The Argentine forest cockroach (Blaptica dubia)
Cockroaches belong to the most resistant food insects. They are undemanding in keeping
as well as in shipping. They can usually go without food for several days,
even several weeks, and can handle colder and hotter temperatures without further
when shipped.
Cockroaches are readily taken by almost all reptiles. They provide a good variety
and alternative to crickets and grasshoppers. Since the males do not call
there is no noise disturbance when keeping or in the terrarium, if
an animal is not eaten immediately. Due to the rather stately size, which especially the
females reach, cockroaches are especially liked by large lizards.
The fear that escaped animals could reproduce in an apartment is usually unfounded with this species
. For reproduction, an apartment would have to have many damp
places and be littered with garbage, which is usually not the case.
Escaped animals usually do not find enough food and then ultimately die. One finds
then only a piece of dried up animal.
