I purchased roaches, oh let's see, August of last year. One of them was pregnant when she arrived and I soon had little roachlettes. So, my roachlettes have grown and now I think I have what are called nymphs. They live in a tupperware container and have egg crate, water crystals and whatever food I put in there for them - they seem to love fruity Cheerios. They sit on my kitchen counter and the temp in my house is kept at 71 degrees. The other day I was giving them more food and I had a whole bunch of new little babies. Apparently they are still breeding and doing they're thing.
I'm just curious because everyone else has these elaborate set ups for breeding and I don't do anything. Am I just lucky that they keep reproducing without any husbandry? My dragon has decided that he'd rather have them as pets, than eat them. He lets them crawl around, maybe will lick them and then just goes about his business. I'm also thinking I may need to start putting them in a larger container, because I can't stand the thought of killing them. So basically, we have roaches as pets along with everything else. Is that weird?
