Lynn from the www.hencam.co.uk forum asked if we could post a video of our cockroaches hissing, so here it is!

Sorry the video quality is so bad!

  • They only naturally hiss if they feel threatened, to scare away a preditor, to show dominance to a rival male or to attract a female. This video appears that it hissed becaused you moved and handled them too much, which made them scared or uncomfortable. Pleas

  • @jleer1 I understand what you are saying, however they can also hiss when they are just slightly startled or surprised - one of ours used to hiss at the slightest thing, even coming across an unfamiliar branch in their vivarium. This wasn't distressing to the animal in any way. I would agree that roughly treating them just to get them to hiss would be unethical, but clearly we don't do that.

  • it sounds like a wind up toy :D

  • I have to admit, the squeaking noise they make is kinda cute.

    I'm trying to get used to these, I just found out my friend has hissing roaches as pets.
