Anyone keep C*ckroaches?

[Nurse Ratchet]

I use a regular heating pad under half the bin for my dubias. Coco and reptisoil mix. I spray the soil when it starts to dry out. Dubias have been breeding like crazy—- lots of babies. I use a partial lid as they cannot climb the plastic. Apparently oranges are supposed to make them frisky to breed View attachment 65053

Do you use a clean up crew? I was reading about some beetle you can keep with them to help things stay tidy.
Debating on soil vs nothing on the bottom.

Dermestid beetles. The larvae often come with crickets. That's what I use in my roach bins.
