I have my own colony of Chocolate Roaches for feeding to my Spiders and Scorps, I have had the colony for over a year now and its going very strong. I keep them in a big tub with coco fibre substrate and some heat as its not the warmest here. I feed them on a mix of cat food and veg.
My questions are should I be introducing new stock every now an again or is it okay that they interbreed so much and the other is I sometimes go through periods where they seem to lose legs, some will go down to just two legs, do they do this to each other? The only other insects in there are some woodlice and spring tails to keep it clean.
