CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise cockroaches and what do they eat (How to raise cockroaches)

1. What does creeper eat?

Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, mealworms.

Geckos have a diverse diet, mainly small live insects. They are beneficial and harmless animals. Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, mealworms, etc. are all good feed for geckos. Farmers can catch them in the wild or raise them artificially.

Since creepers originate from the wild, they have strong adaptability and disease resistance, and are easy to manage. They only need to be fed once a day to meet their growth requirements. Even if they are not fed for half a month, it will not be a hindrance and does not occupy labor. Large-scale breeding farms can be built, or they can be raised in pots, tanks, wooden boxes, etc. at home. Idle houses can also be slightly modified to meet the normal growth needs of creepers.

2. How to keep cockroaches alive?

When it comes to cockroaches, everyone wants to kill them. People don't like cockroaches, but what you may not know is that cockroaches have great medicinal value and can reduce swelling and promote blood circulation.

Cockroaches do not like light and prefer to be active at night, preferring warm, quiet, and humid places. They are more active from 9 to 11 p.m., and become quieter at dawn. The dormant period for cockroaches is from November to early March of the following year. The peak foraging period is from May to September. Keep the environment for breeding cockroaches between 28°C and 33°C. Pay attention to the sealing of the breeding room, and place some foam grass and other materials that help maintain humidity and temperature around it. Do not use wooden doors and windows, and the space should not be too small, otherwise the cockroaches will have a low ability to reproduce and are prone to death.

2. Choose the cockroach species. The species of cockroaches to be raised should be selected mainly based on economic value, life cycle and life span.

Here are three recommended varieties:

1The Australian cockroach has a long life span and strong vitality, and can lay 20 to 30 eggs in its lifetime;

2 In addition to the above characteristics, the German cockroach also has strong adaptability.

3. The most prominent advantage of the American cockroach is its strong reproductive ability, and it can lay up to 60 eggs in its lifetime.

3 How to feed them. Cockroaches are actually very easy to feed. Fruits, vegetables, and wooden products are all good ingredients for feeding cockroaches. Generally, cockroaches come out to look for food at night, so try to feed them around 18:00. As for how much, it also depends on their appetite. There are also specific cockroach feeds here, which are made with corn flour, salt, fish meal, lard, brown sugar, etc., to ensure that cockroaches love to eat. They grow big and fat. When feeding, don't forget to keep the environment humid and warm, with plenty of food and a quiet place.

4. The production of cockroach feed. The production of cockroach feed is very simple, and it uses some common materials, mainly corn meal and other grains and oil crops.

5. Stay away from natural enemies of drugs. Although cockroaches are generally strong, they are still afraid of drug poisoning. So stay away from pesticides such as pest control, dichlorvos, and trichlorfon.

In addition, cockroaches will be eaten by mice and bats, so they must be kept away from these nemesis when breeding. In addition, cockroaches can also get sick, so to prevent the cockroaches from getting sick themselves, a good eating environment must be maintained. Prevent them from becoming hosts for other pathogens. The medicinal value of cockroaches is actually very high. If you want to breed cockroaches well, you must ensure the temperature of the environment, keep the light dark, and stay away from drugs and natural enemies such as mice during feeding. These are all things you must know when breeding cockroaches.

3. How to get into cockroach breeding?

1. Choose a container

To breed cockroaches, you first need to choose a container. Cockroaches are nocturnal animals and do not like light, so it is best to use a light-shielding container when breeding cockroaches. At the same time, friends living in rural areas will find that cockroaches generally appear more frequently in summer and less frequently in winter, so when choosing a container, you also need to choose a heat-insulating container.

2. Control the temperature

Cockroaches are animals that like warmth, so when breeding cockroaches, it is best to control the temperature above 20 degrees to allow the cockroaches to grow better. At the same time, when controlling the temperature for the cockroaches, you also need to pay attention to ventilation to avoid the cockroaches dying from lack of oxygen due to an overly hot environment.

3. Prepare food

Cockroaches are usually active between 9 and 11 p.m. every night, so it is best to provide food for cockroaches at night so that they can eat more food. At the same time, it is best to provide them with appropriate food, such as rice, apple cores, vegetables, etc.

4. Notes

Cockroaches are generally pests, so common insecticides on the market can kill cockroaches. Generally, when breeding cockroaches, it is necessary to avoid the presence of pesticides in the cockroach breeding environment to avoid causing the death of cockroaches. At the same time, animals such as mice and ants feed on cockroaches, so when breeding cockroaches, it is also necessary to help the cockroaches avoid natural enemies.

4. What is the best way to breed cockroaches?

Wooden box feeding and raising method.

The specifications of the breeding box are: 70 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm high. The cover panel of the box is movable for operation. A small window of 20 cm long and 15 cm wide is built at the front and back, and it is sealed with iron mesh nails for easy observation and air circulation. There is no bottom plate under the breeding box, which is convenient for cleaning and hygiene. The breeding box is placed in a house with a relatively flat ground (preferably a cement floor). Inside the box, a square wooden strip is nailed on the front and back sides 10 cm away from the box mouth to place a wooden frame. The wooden frame is "U" shaped, and its specifications are made according to the width of the breeding box. The two sides of the frame can be placed on the two wooden strips in the front and back of the box. The wooden frame is covered with paper (the thicker the better), and then the wooden frames are stacked one by one in the breeding box (leaving an empty space at one end for feeding and watering), which becomes a residence for cockroaches.

Choose healthy cockroaches as breeding insects, place them in a breeding box, put in a small amount of feed, initially feed with green and juicy, nutritious fruit peels, bread, steamed bread, rice, provide sufficient clean drinking water, feed once every 3 days. It is better to put the feed on the top of the wooden frame in the box, or on the bottom of the box, while drinking water can only be placed in the box. Cleaning and sanitation work is once every 3 days.

First, gently move the feed box, clean it and move it back to its original position, then add feed and change water. Cockroaches lay eggs mostly on wooden frame paper, and the larvae will hatch after more than a month of incubation.

5. How to raise Zoo Star cockroaches?

Answer: Buy some cockroach houses that can catch cockroaches and put them in the kitchen. This way, when cockroaches come out to look for food at night, you can catch them and get rid of them.

6. What animals do cockroaches feed on?

The white-fronted stilt spider is an expert at eating cockroaches. It is harmless to humans and you can raise one if you are not afraid of it.

2. Geckos will squat outside the cockroach nest and kill the cockroach immediately if it dares to come out.

3. Keep a cat and feed it less food every day. This way, when the cat is hungry, it will have the energy to catch cockroaches to eat.

The one that is more easily accepted among these is probably the cat. Here I would like to remind you that if you keep a pet to catch cockroaches, it may take a long time because cockroaches reproduce quickly. When you catch one here, a new nest may hatch from the cockroach egg case over there, so don't be impatient!
