Common Name: Madiera Cockroach
Scientific Name: Rhypharobia maderae
Size: Per Tub
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 medium sized, grey, winged species of cockroach. Approximate adult size 4cm. Popular as live food for spiders and reptiles. These cockroaches move quite fast, which makes them appealing to predators but they do have a pretty strong odour (which is not so appealing to humans).
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!) |
