Roaches in the U.K

[tryme]

Anyone know where I can get some roaches in the U.K? Like even online or anything.

You can buy them off ebay, if not try some of these sites for more feeders delivered in the UK,

Cheers. I was wondering. If i was to start a colony how many roaches should i start with. I can find 25 small 50 small 100 small. and so on for medium and large.

Try www.roachshop.co.uk they have dubia roaches for sale as starter coloneys at all different sizes and they also sell tubs of them as livefood. I would start out with at least 50 adults aswell as various other sized ones too, this way you can expect lots of babies soon and it wont take as long before you can start using them for feeding off.

Someone on RFUK is advertising 100 dubias for £9 + P&P at the moment

Yeah i've got 100 dubias it cost me £12 including p&p so not to bad. Especially if it's gonna work breeding them any way! When I have loads i'll sell some off and make a tenner back piece of cake. lol

Mine took a little while to get going but they are reproducing like nobody's business now.

Where are you based as I may have some lobster roaches available?
