Message: <blockquote data-quote="Metalman2004" data-source="post: 133483" data-attributes="member: 7681">Its high time I figure out how to get a roach colony going for feeders.  I’ve bought large wuantities or crickets and am very tired of that for many reasons.  I did superworms for a while and it was nice to have a feeder that didn’t stink.  I’m in the middle of breeding proejcts though and some of the potentially geavid females just don’t want superworms even though they chow on crickets.  So I guess I’m going to give roaches a try.The first question that needs answering is what species I should keep.  I only want one so its got to be the right one.  I’ve tried feeding dubias from the petstore with about the same success that I’ve had with superworms.  Some Ts will take them and some want nothing to do with them.  What do y’all suggest?The second question is where to put them.  My best option is the garage because there seems to be crap stuffed in every closet in the house.  I know they generally breed better at higher temps, but would Texas garage temps cook them?</blockquote>
