Sold as a mix of small to medium nymphs, from pinhead to 7/8" in size, depending on our stock. If you prefer a certain size, please indicate desired sizes in Order Comments and we will do our best to accommodate.
Extremely fast and active. Ideal for triggering the prey drive and hunting instincts of reluctant eaters of all types of insectivores and omnivores, such as amphibians, arachnids, scorpions, and reptiles.
Very similar to crickets in movement and appearance.
Most commonly sold feeder roach in the world.
The highest meat to exoskeleton ratio of all the roaches.
Can be kept at room temperature with minimal care, allowing for bulk purchasing.
Cannot climb glass surfaces and incapable of full flight, so escape potential is minimal.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Upon arrival, empty the critters into your storage container and provide food and water crystals. Roaches enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, but PLEASE DO NOT FEED onions, garlic, cucumbers, or avocados. Remember, what you gut-load into the animals goes into your pet.
We do not recommend dishes of water as these critters are prone to drowning in very shallow water. Water crystals in a dish or a wet sponge may be used as a water source.
If the weather has been cold, please allow one or two hours for the critters to come to room temperature, at which point they should start moving and resuming normal activity. Contact us immediately with any questions or issues.
