  • Can you send me some?? how much would it cost to buy some and have them couriered to Malaysia?

  • hmmm... you have some very cool cockroaches living in Malaysia! Perhaps you could find a Zebra stripe cockroach? They are also really really cool looking.

  • Hi, nice vieo. I feed mine the same as you do, but I never see a lot of activity at the feeding dish. Would you suggest maybe chicken mash? Let me know and thanks.

  • It seems like they only like fruits and veggies... haven't had any luck with any meats... In the warmer months we get lots of feeding activity, especially if they haven't had fresh food in a day or two. I'm hoping to post a video of some cool cockroach eating soon.

  • Do cockraches bite?And wats the shh shh sound?

    im scare dof cockroaches but nice collection altohught

  • These cockroaches definitely don't bite... They're actually really cool and fun to hold. The noise you're hearing is their hiss, which they create by pushing air out through small holes in their abdomen. They use the hiss to scare predators, warn other roaches, defend territory and find mates.

  • Can I have some?

  • Technically I guess they COULD, but a small percentage of roaches are actually pests. We have them at our Museum and we put a layer of Vaseline around the top of the tank because they are excellent climbers! LOL, ours love the veggies we put out for them.

  • Right up there with Rats, mice, ticks, fleas, silverfish, earwigs, etc.

    Basically, Pests for pets

  • They're kinda cute.

  • : O weird i thought they were smaller
