So, I've said on here, on multiple occasions, that I would never ever touch roaches as feeders.
Well, never say never. I haven't been able to order crickets online b/c no one is home during the week and the temps are 100+ degrees out, so I've had to go to a pet store to get feeders. I went in today, and FedEx had killed 95,000 of their crickets in shipping. No crickets! I didn't know what to do and they suggested roaches; I cringed at the thought. But the babies have to eat. So they got them for me and I started to think that it wasn't so bad. Until I got home and put them in a container, which they started frantically crawling out of. I'm so used to crickets not being able to climb up the sides of containers so I pretty much freaked when the roaches started doing it. I think I'm pretty well traumatized by this....Don't think I could do roach colonies for feeders or anything.
What do you guys keep roaches in so they don't get out?? Ugh. luckily I only got like 10 and they all made it to the food dishes of my chams... hopefully they eat them right up.
