Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArvadaLanee" data-source="post: 67546" data-attributes="member: 4315">Thanks for the website suggestion. I do like the idea of giving Blanche some new options on the menu, and my kids would probably really love the idea of more pets! Lol. Is there a good place to find a list of acceptable prey insects we can offer?How do you maim the roaches to keep them from burrowing? Does it involve pulling off legs? (You can't see the grimace on my face right now, but I don't find the idea appealing.) I don't have chop sticks, or bamboo sticks, but I bet we have something around here that would work. Do you just hold the roach in front of her for a bit to see if she takes it? Her roaches will be arriving tomorrow. I hope I can be brave enough to work with them!</blockquote>
