[QUOTE="ArvadaLanee, post: 80672, member: 4315"] I actually ended up feeding Blanche all the roaches I had, as her appetite had picked up, and once she was used to them, she devoured them. I had only bought a few, and they were tiny babies when I got them, so it probably would have taken a while to get them breeding. It was hard for me to keep them warm, because we started running the air conditioner, and all my heat mats are in use for the snakes. If my friend had gotten the new bearded Dragon he wanted, (sadly, his male was really old, and recently died,) I might have been more serious about it, but I just have a lot going on right now, and I figure I can buy more, and next time get adults if I want them to breed. Things have been a little stressed at our house recently, as we have had a lot of hard news. My mom has skin cancer, my Grandpa had a heart attack and is not doing well, my step-grandpa had a seizure, and injured his back very badly. My boyfriend has a friend who lost a son that drown in lake Michigan, and his other friend has been sick with pancreatitis. We've just been a little distracted. I still might end up buying some turkistan roaches, just as feeders for now, or maybe even other fun feeders, like hornworms, but I won't worry about breeding anything for a bit. [/QUOTE]
