Discoid Roaches!

[MICHAEL BIRCH]

I live in Florida, it's illegal to have Dubi Roaches here. I figured Discoids would be the next best thing. I was thinking about keeping a small colony of these. My only local pet store that carries these does not have a large supply, and charges like a dollar a roach. I've heard of Cape Cod Roaches but I was wondering if there were any other good Roach suppliers out there that carry Discoids?!

cape code, roach crossing, aaron pauling, are ones i've ordered from without any issues.

Are there any statistics that show nutritional wise how a discoid stacks up against a dubi?

Nope. Not that ive seen. Ive been thinking of trying discoids, they seem pretty similar to dubia, and im curious. There's folks that speak highly of them as feeders, I know that

I've heard they smell, it's one of the reasons, probably the only reason actually i haven't tried them.

One of the vendor websites, can't recall which off hand, has a nutritional value table for each one, showing the amount of fat, protein, etc.

My dubia have been giving off a slight smell, it's minimal though, and not too bad. I just rehoused them too, so its not the enclosure. I saw one evade my H paucidens and start bouncing it's butt up and down as it walked away. Never seen that before..they always just play dead or run.
