Common Name: Cuban Burrowing Cockroach
Scientific Name: Byrsotria fumigata
Size: Nymph
Status: Captive Bred
Food : Cockroaches will eat a range of fruit, veg, cereals and kitchen scraps. I feed all my cockroaches on my dried 'cockroach mix' (muesli, cat biscuits, fish pellets and bran - mixed together), plus a little fruit and veg. I generally feed the cockroaches once or twice a week.
A large black cockroach, only males have wings, easy to keep. Tend to burrow, rather than climb! Approximate adult size 4-5 cm. Very useful as live food for larger spiders and reptiles, I have been told that Bearded Dragons love them!
Note : A tub of cockroaches will always contain enough individuals to start a breeding colony, the number in a tub varies depending on size of species and how many I have in stock. (when I am overrun with a certain species a tub will contain as many as I can fit in!) |
