Can you keep Turkish roaches and Dubia together?

[pssh]

I have a second tub and heat source for the Turkish roaches, but I was wondering if it was possible for them to live together? When I took a swing at breeding crickets I kept a small kritter keeper in my roach bin because it was warm and a few baby crickets got out and peacefully survived with the dubia. Since the crickets were getting along with the roaches I thought maybe it would work with the Turkish roaches, or am I just being lame?

Opinions? thanks!

I'm not sure if the dubias would eat the egg cases of the turks.

I'd try it out.

The only issue would be cannibalism if there is not enough protein, they will eat the tiny turks.

Here is what I have experienced. I had mixed maybe 50 dubia with several hundred lateralis and the lateralis eat the dubia. There were no dubia left in the container. I have had hundred dubia mixed with a hundred lateralis and no one got eaten from what I noticed but the lateralis couldnt seem to reproduce like they usually would. Maybe that had something to do with the dubia eating the eggs not sure. Now I just keep them all separate and they reproduce like crazy. One thing I hate about the lateralis is they are so darn fast. Occasionally, I'll see some creeping along the wall, which I hate and can't figure out how they escape. I use a double container, never open a container w/o being over another in case some fall, and I cup feed or hand feed them.. Hope this helps some.

Jannb had about 50 turks in with her dubia, they had been reproducing in with the dubia I guess, seemed to be fine.
