Discoid Roaches (Blaberus discoidalis)

2nd most common feeder roach in range of the Dubia Roach. Great feeder for all types of pets. Great protein to moisture ratio ensuring your pet will be well fed and satiated. FL legal!

Illegal: HI

Lifespan: Up to 2 years for adults.

Size: Up to 1.5 to 2 inches for adults.

Temperature: 80F - 90F but don't exceed 100F (can go down to 50F if you're not concerned with consistent breeding)

Humidity: 40% - 60% (cleanup enclosure as needed to prevent mold) Make sure there is plenty of ventilation on all sides of enclosure.

Climbing: Can not typically climb, but if plastic walls have texture to them and are dusty, we've witnessed some climbers trying to escape. We recommend smooth plastics with a sealed lid.

Appetite: They'll eat about anything, but we raise our colonies on Romaine hearts, sweet potato, apples for moisture content and then we have our own Roach Chow formula to supplement with protein intake. Do not exceed 20% in protein when feeding these roaches as this may kill your colony.
