So the other week I got 1000medium mixed roaches from WestCoastRoaches. I love going through them. And everytime you find a few beetles in with your roaches to clean up what there being shipped in. This time I literally found about 30beetles and a few different worms. Which thats a Cleaner Crew. There was enough for me to pick them out and start my own Crew and add them to my Dubia Colony that I been breeding for 5months now. I was pretty excited because they cost like 5-10$ to buy on there own and I just pretty much got them for free & I wanted one anyways.
Next day I went to my local pet store to buy some Superworms. The girl who works there and breeds all there insects and takes care of all the reptiles telling me how her sister bought a cleaning crew and added it to her Dubia Colony and that it was the WORST thing shes ever done. They started eating Roaches who just shed, or eating Roaches who are alittle sick and even eating just perfectly fine healthy roaches. That they would gain up on a Roach and start crawling inside them and kill them. She started noticing after adding the Cleaner Crew that her Roaches were dying and she was losing numbers because she kept track. One day she went in there and seen a Roach laying on its back fralling its legs around, she picked it up and looked at it & thought possibly there was some disease in the Colony. She put that Roach in a container and kept and eye on it. Next day she checked on it and it looked like a shed, all the meat and insides were gone and there were a few Cleaner Crews in there which she didnt put any in there. & she told me how they multiple soooo fast.
Wanted to know if anyone else ever had this kind of a problem with a Cleaner Crew before or heard about it? & this girl has been breeding Dubias for years.
