New Pet- Madagascar Hissing Cockroach

[MaskFac3]

i want some of these to help my mum get over her fear of them

[bugzNstuff]

did you ever end up getting more? They're a colony bug and do better in large quantities.

[sandmbmx]

I have Hissing cockroaches but I use them to feed my spider Daisy the Goliath Bird Eater

[puppydoggeh]

If only I knew some one who wasn't digusted by my pet bugs *sigh* (Im a girl, by the way) Ive been dumped because of it XD

[Uhlersoth77]

@puppydoggeh That really is a shame. I'm also a girl and I love these critters, but all the guys I know are amusingly squeamish. They're even worse around spiders.

[steveeeen]

@puppydoggeh i love bugs :3

[paisley713]

kinda want one....or two....

[TheVinegaroon]

I had one 4 9 years

[Caramell9898]

yesterday at school there was a reptile assebly and the worker wanted 3 most bravest kids in the school i stared screaming rly loud saying the animals i have- snakes,turtles and hermit crabs so he picked me and it was suprisingly that coacharoach now i want one where did u get him how much XD

[McDeop]

Cockroaches are the most pointless pet.

[19angelhair]

Awesome:)

[gaaragirl93]

[x0xgumdropsx0x]

he's like "QUIT TOUCHING MEEEE!" haha

[horsepornable]

"He was a dollar."

[Herpetile303]

hey need some help, if a hissing cockroach has a broken antenna will it grow back???

[sexyxvamp]

I wish people wouldn't Fucking moan just looking at some peoples comments they are clean idiots and able easy to look after pets and are very interesting to watch

[sexyxvamp]

Getting 5 me these next week Woop and I already have a Chilean rose to x

[NukeEmAllFuckaa14]

get a hair cut

[piemonster11]

Sounds like pressing a cold burger againts a hot grill. ssssss! gross though. Cool

[DemeterLovesPumpkins]

aww grumpy little baby <3 he needs a nap ^_^

[mingsorock3]

never touch cockroach armor they have disesese outside rather than inside their body

[d1V1n3d]

@mingsorock3

thats for wild ones

if this is a bred one u got nothing to worry about unless the breeder has those in his house which i guess wont be the case

its basically the same with roaches as with rats:

wild -> infected

bred -> "clean"

otherwise dogs or cats would also be infected

there are bacterias everywhere, just depends on where animals live

breeding box -> not like the infested spots roaches in the wilds live in, also not every roach lives in such places so..

[davecrosswhite]

now i am official scared to go to sleep

[TheZzbaum]

well yes but it still seems wierd to me (thats my own idea though you can eat or play with as much of those nasties as you want :D)

[TheZzbaum]

erm let me ask this, why would you be attracted to keep a FUCKING HUGE HISSING COCKROACH as a pet when there are many cute little and clean (!) puppies and kittens out there ready to be taken. yeah thas what I dont get, I dont have a pet but they would have to first amputate my head if I was going to have a cockroach as a pet, thats just so fucking pointless! (I get goosebumps just watching this!) and how did i even get here and watch this video?! sick!

[WOWjman713]

@TheZzbaum dogs and cats are expensive to keep

plus ppl have their own free will to have what they want legally

[MaggotF0rLife]

Why did I decide to watch this while I was eating?

[DannySmith300]

Get a female one and become a cocroach breeder!

[surrealfx]

Oh yeah, obviously the roach loves it when you prod and poke it! Leave it alone! Idiot!

[mcsuzzer]

cockroach wanna be cat? haha i hate cockroaches but these look adorable o-o

[ikuto2213]

Is this weird? I am a teenage girl and if my mom would let me get one, I would have like 6 of these wonderful creatures :)

[KungKeno21]

I honestly think this insect is quite hilarious with all the hissing it does. =D

[odstroy22]

why da FUCK would u keep a cockroach as a fucking pet

[connormac100]

Its a cat..roach.

[blackhoundful]

It isnt gross, I own several pets like this. Who needs horses cats and dogs when you can have a beautiful cockroach. :)

[capricebot]

I have a pet cockroach :)

[rizwan1983]

Thumbs up if Rocketboom sent you

[sam3d]

i used to be interested in these roaches until ilearned they have fuken mites all over them! fucken disgusting.

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

@sam3d its really not as gross as you would think. they are really tiny and you normally cant ever see them. they are there for a reason and without them the roaches can get sick and also cause you to get sick.

[ItsTheSecretAsian]

@DontPokeMeSoHard So the mites are actually sybiotic to the roach? Huh... I thought mites were bad. Then again, I have a snake, meaning at the first signs of mites you exterminate those little bastards.

[samverwimp]

@DontPokeMeSoHard meh there still pretty cool i guess a lot of animals have mites or some other small organismes on them

[DroneFragger]

@sam3d All the mites do is eat crumbs of food that the roaches drop and in return they keep the roach clean of anything on them that might harm it.

[ooJDMoo]

@sam3d There are microscopic mites that live inside of the folicles of your eye lashes that help clan up your eye lashes and keep stuff out of your eyes. Seriously.

[sam3d]

@ooJDMoo really!, youre one of those dumbtards that believe in cleaner commercial huh!! " millions of microscopic bubbles brushing away on your toilet"

HEY so f that lives in my eyelids, can you tell me what lives inside my ass?

[ooJDMoo]

@sam3d Yeah, you have bacterium inside of your intestins that help you form nice healthy turds and help fight bad bacteria.

[ADRIEL296]

@sam3d true that it sounds scary... but mites are everywhere mate.....

[sam3d]

@ADRIEL296 yeah, specially in your ass!

[ADRIEL296]

@sam3d lol I thumbed up this cuz it is true lol

[TaigaShana0Melon]

@sam3d LOL you have mites on u aswell XD like everywhere....on ur clothes and in ur bed...so don't complain about tha :/

[spetsnaz97]

wat does it eat.shit of course



[loverven]

[MrAronhenderson]

[TRiiKsUNtainted]

Do you stash your weed in his cage or something? HOW WOULD YOU LET THAT COCKROACH LAY ON YOUR WEED? :(

[JesusGodHolySpirit3]

[gayzombies]

[ricardo76823]

[seasonedsevencolors]

[Colhare]

i think bugs are pretty cool(im not a bug collecting nerd) plus this ones kinda cute (keep ur opinions to urself -3-)

[RockManRecords]

I would smash the living shit out that thing

[benwilko727]

@RockManRecords bug killing prick

[FlowingDepths]

Pfft, what's so gross about these guys? I'm a girl and bugs don't freak me out - madagascar hissing cockroaches don't carry the pathogens "regular" roaches can and are harmless to humans. In fact, I hope to get a few sometime soon. People who think only dogs and cats can be pets need to grow up =p thanks for sharing the vid, dude.

[jacksparrowsgirl102]

im getting one of thoes tomorrow! my mom finally gave in! she thinks they are nasty, but i like em

[djtoontk]

[salant96]

0:03 rofl xD

[kudegras23]

Nice pet but you don't have to shake his box and tab him with your finger, thats alittle cruel.

[JoshIsInABox]

mate you need to handle it more then it wont hiss at you and dont poke it

[rawritsfrankiie]

mine dont hiss :(

[inferndragon]

The hissing cockroaches hiss actually because they enjoy any form of pressure on them. Basically it is like a massage for them.

[LucindaAzul]

Aww! I love it!

I Had one for a while. They make great, clean pets and are fun to handle. I'm getting another one soon.

[GaMeOuTtAcOnTrOl]

Hey it's Tommy Solomon aka Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd Rock from the Sun & Inception.

[Bathoric95]

Thats really cool but wouldn't they need more then that? Or is that all they need for a habitat food, forest floor and a hide?

[ferni1023]

how much was it and wherd you buy it.

[OutlawEffectz]

Don't cockroaches come from the sewers, why would you keep one as a pet

[TheSiamiesTwins]

@OutlawEffectz These live in the wild on Madagascar and there rly freindly my dad has them and i here them hiss every day and they are really gentile

[dave8594]

Dude i was thinking of getting one of those for my scorpion.

[carlismycoolcat]

Hey dude theyre SOCIAL animals,they need more than one of their own kind to be happy and live long.

[CommanderAME]

Why the f*** would you want that?

[TheSiamiesTwins]

@CommanderAME Those roches are like 1,000000000000000 times better and diffrent then the ones crawling in all our houses i have the hissing ones there cool and slow so its fun to play with them and there rly gentile

[skyarsalan]

when they hiss that means their angry

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

@skyarsalan thank you?

[TheOddGoat]

@DontPokeMeSoHard

Don't listen to skyarsalan lol.

As I'm sure you understand, they hiss when they are ticked off mostly... And it's not reeeaaallllyyy hissing like you would do with your mouth.

It's just the roach squeezing its carapace shut and forcing air out.

[bluegama500]

@DontPokeMeSoHard lol thats so cool. Everytime you touch it it hisses xD.  I can't own pets like these because i own a Kitten(she will kill them).

[PinkApocalypse]

@skyarsalan

It means they're scared, actually.

[skyarsalan]

@PinkApocalypse

lol

[supahsnuffy]

@skyarsalan No, when they hiss it means they feel threatened...

[chek1chek1]

@skyarsalan what do they do when there angry?

[aved619]

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

@aved619 nah

[TheSiamiesTwins]

[MsBioGeek]

@lalalaya7209 you can get them at your local petstore usually

[UTSA2013]

They're actually not nasty like other roaches. They carry no pathogens (things that make you sick)

[Healterskelter95]

and they can't fly around too

[TheSiamiesTwins]

@UTSA2013 ya i know my dad bought the Roaches for his Camelion at first i was feraked out and scared but turns out there really slow there backs feel like nail polish on a smooth nail, and i like to hold them and here them hiss

[majinbuu54321]

[majinbuu54321]

cockroaches=bearded dragon food

[mjoonbug]

[tex2lps]

[JaimeStone18]

that is discusting EWW

[Gunther81818]

thas just nasty

[AllieKat816]

bearded dragon food :)

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

its to big to feed to steve :) lol

[OMGclub]

this guy looks like anthony keidis when he was young

[Lishy1]

How loud are they? I've been considering a hissing cockroach as a pet for awhile, but I've been worrying that a hissing cockroach is loud and might disturb me at night.

[Laceytube3]

they are about as loud as a cell phone click, and hoping that they arent in the same room as you sleep in, it'll be perfectly fine

[JoeCapricorn]

They only hiss if you disturb them or if they are mating or if the males are fighting. Other than that, they are pretty quiet. I have one as a pet. They are pretty cute!

[MsBioGeek]

@JoeCapricorn Do you know if it is better to get a male or female?

[JoeCapricorn]

Not sure, the one I had lived for only 5 days -_-;

If you want baby cockroaches, get a female and a male to ensure so, if you want to completely avoid baby cockroaches, just get a male.

[TheSiamiesTwins]

@MsBioGeek males because females make a whole lot of babies but males are big and they have small NOT SHARP horn and they hiss like so loud

[ancalites]

which one is the cockroach?

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

the one that has 6 legs, hisses, in the tank,  and is a roach? dip shit

[mmmsandwitch]

I have a few, Breeding them really helps to keep up a good food supply for frogs and stuff.

[mzh3000]

lol he doesn`t seem to like you to much

[vderouen07]

hey cool i just got some hissing cockroaches. yours is pretty agressive. it hisses a lot. If you hold it alot it will become calmer.

[Nakka92]

btw how much do they live? a couple of years or so?

[taquaraman]

up to 4 years

[Nakka92]

they must be awesome pets.. I would love to have one.. :(

[ravick007]

Very cool, man! :D

[oflamemakero]

i dont know whats more gross u or ur cockroaches

[DontPokeMeSoHard]

im sorry ur in such a huge dilemma!!! i think the roach is prolly a tad more gross though... and for the record... i know its pretty hard to count... but i only have one roach... sooo... lick my dick

[oflamemakero]
