When Cleaning your Roach Tub
What is the procedure? I know you need to leave some of the fecal material for the young, but do you save some in a container and pour it back in, or do you not completely remove everything.
Thanks!

Re: When Cleaning your Roach Tub
I only change the cardboard - havent "cleaned" the whole enclosure (apart from the bit where i put the fruit - i wipe that bit down each time fresh fruit gets put in)

Re: When Cleaning your Roach Tub
I've never kept anything with the Dubias.
Just did a complete emptying.

I put the fruit on a plate, then remove the plate within 24 hours, clean and replace.

It was my understanding, that the young feed of the fecal matter of the adults. Anyone else know of this?

Re: When Cleaning your Roach Tub
I fixed your post Greg, the way you worded that last question it asked if YOU ate the feces.
You are correct, the babies eat the adults poo when they are young.

Re: When Cleaning your Roach Tub
all I need is one banana a week, so yeah, they are super cheap food.
Chomper loves the big adults. My Leopard Gecko eats the smaller juveniles.
