Madagascan Hissing Roaches
They don't make good feeders, but they sure are humorous to poke at and make hiss lol. I picked up a few of them just for the fun of it

Yes they most likely would but they have a very hard exo skeleton. Wouldn't be a good staple diet, thats for sure. I'd love to see a a parsons eat one though. That'd be real neat.

Yeah, I can see them beardies chomping them up good. I bought 2 male and 2 female just for the heck of it. I was picking up my order of 600 Dubia and he mentioned $5 each for the hissers so I bought 4 lol. They are hilarious to bug. No pun intended lol.

You see yours eat much? My dubia go after food like there aint no tomorrow... But the Hissers seem like they dont care a whole bunch.

I've only had them about a week now and I haven't noticed them eat much. I keep plenty of food in for them but they don't seem to be as big of pigs as I thought they'd be.
My Dubia on the other hand go nuts for the apple and orange slices I throw in for them along with the roach coach. They eat pretty much anything so they are easily gutloaded

It's true!
Kinyonga told me this several months ago. With all my nieces and nephews...the roaches got held a lot and they did stop hissing. Kind of frustrating when you want to demonstrate this to someone!! They are so laid back...great pets. -Brad
