They eat crushed dog, mouse, or chick food, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables. A damp sponge will provide them with the water they need.

I have crushed dog food, a few slices of oranges and some lettuce right now. I have one of those flat rock caves in there with them and their water is in a shallow bowl with a napkin in it. They all seem to be doing okay, but I think they might be cold. I will have to either buy a bulb or get them a heating pad. Have you owned them before?

I wish. Ardin is terrified of them. I would be willing to buy some from ya when they hatch though. But I just do a lot of research on different things that interest me. ~^=^~;

\"They like the daytime temperature to be around 88-96 degrees (Fahrenheit), and no lower than 68 degrees at night. A convenient heating method is to keep their enclosure on or next to a cable TV box or other non-moving electrical appliance. Although, they will live in cooler climates, they tend to be less active, grow more slowly, and need more food.\"

I am terrified of roaches too. These guys aren't so bad. They don't have wings and they move slowly unless you provoke them too much. The babies are hatched and about 1/4 inch long (hissers are "live-bearers", technically, they keep the egg sack inside their body until the babies are hatched then they release them and the sack.)

I seem to have one male with 10 females. That guy must be busy. It should be about 3-4 months (I'm not really sure, but I read that they stay with mom for that long) that the little ones are ready to go. I'd love it if you would want some, I'd give you as many as you want, I'll even throw in a home for them.

lol That would be awesome. Ardin is so going to have a shitfit but he'll get over it. Personally I think that male is one lucky son of a bug lol Deffantly give me a howl when they are ready. You can sell them for $10 a baby ya know. The only problem I see is ppl are too scared of them.

Haha. I'm not really interested in selling the little guys, I much rather give them to a good home. So, when the little boogers are ready to go, I will definitely contact you and we can arrange a way to get them to you.

sweet *huggles*

I just gave them pieces of banana and they are going nuts.

Oh, and *hug*!

that's good :3
