Mixing Roach species

[Calypso]

Is it ok if I mix different species of roach. I'm thinking lobster, dubia, and cleaners. Also, what about putting phoenix and superworms together?

I keep dubias and hissers together with no problems.

black fly larva and super worms have different needs. One lives in garbage and the other lives in bran. black flys liquify the food and the house needs a drain. On the other hand super worms need it kinda dry or they mold real quick.

Ok, so I got; dubias, lobsters, hissers, phoneix, meal, hornworms and chinese and carolina oothes. Which can be housed together?

Should be getting all these guys tomorrow or the next day, and I would love some info.

Well, I would guess the roaches could be housed together though I wouldn't. Simply because I'd like to know how to separate if I ever need to sell off the excess. The rest is likely going to need to be separated. They require different things, the mantids might eat eachother.

The worms are pretty easy, like the meal worms. Room temperature in a small container with holes on top to gutload, keep the majority in the fridge so they don't pupate.

Horns eat constantly, and need to be cleaned once a day I hear. Depending on your chameleons age, size will matter and they grow quick.

I house superworms and dubias together

Which roaches are able to fly, or have to be given special attention not to escape? Does putting the superworms and dubia together create any complications with the oats for the superworms, and harvesting pupae?
