CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the techniques and methods for breeding cockroaches? (What are the techniques and methods for breeding cockroaches?)

1. How to keep cockroaches alive?

Cockroaches are very tenacious and can survive as long as there is something moist in the environment they live in. Cockroaches eat everything, including soap. They can reproduce very quickly mainly because the environment they grow in is relatively moist and the temperature is suitable.

If you want to raise cockroaches, put two cockroaches together, create a damp and unclean place for them, and put anything in there for them to eat and they will survive.

2. Why can’t cockroaches be widely bred?

Because widespread breeding is difficult, the following points must be achieved: First, insulation: Use greenhouse box breeding methods to maintain a temperature environment of 28℃ to 33℃ throughout the year.

Second, water conservation: Water is more important to cockroaches than food. Cockroaches will die if they are deprived of water for two days during the nymph stage. Water should be kept in the tank at all times.

Three-guarantee food: In order to make cockroaches grow quickly, become strong and have strong reproductive capacity, the feed in the trough must not be cut off, especially at night they must be fed well.

Fourth, we must prevent pesticide damage, disease damage, and natural enemies. In short, breeding cockroaches is not an easy task. Therefore, it cannot be widely bred.

3. Cockroach breeding technology and site construction?

1. Breeding environment

1. The farm should be far away from the factory and in a pollution-free place, and the water should be clean and non-toxic.

2. The water depth must be 0.5-1 meter, and it cannot be directly exposed to the sun. There must be aquatic plants in the water and anti-fly nets must be installed on the water surface.

2. Site Construction

1. You can choose fish ponds, pools or water tanks, but make sure they are pollution-free.

2. The pool can be made of bricks with an area of ​​about 5 square meters. The water depth is controlled at 0.5-1 meter, and 200-300 fish can be raised per square meter.

3. Seedling selection

1. You can purchase seedlings from seed supply departments with guarantees and technical guidance.

2. You can also catch water cockroach larvae in the wild during spring and summer.

Insect breeding.

4. Breeding management

1. Bait

(1) Water cockroaches are mainly carnivorous, but they also eat plants. Their feed mainly consists of corn flour, rice bran, and sweet fruits.

(2) They can also be fed crushed snails, dead fish and shrimp, and livestock waste.

2. Feeding: Feed once a day in the evening, the feeding amount is 7-8% of body weight, and the quality and freshness of the food must be guaranteed.

3. Management

(1) The breeding cycle of water cockroaches is 8 months. They are mainly fed with meat in the first 3 months and mixed feed in the last 5 months.

(2) Water cockroaches do not have high requirements for water quality, but if the water is too turbid, the water needs to be changed in time.

4. What is the correct way to raise cockroaches at home?

1. Insulation: Use greenhouse box cultivation method to maintain the temperature environment at 28-33℃ throughout the year.

2. Water conservation: Water is more important to cockroaches than food. Cockroaches will die if they are deprived of water for 2 days during the nymph stage. Therefore, water should be kept in the tank at all times.

3. Ensure food supply: In order for cockroaches to grow quickly, become strong and have strong reproductive capacity, the feed in the trough must not be cut off, especially at night, they must be allowed to eat enough.

4. Moisturizing: The relative humidity of the environment in which cockroaches live should be above 70%. If it is too dry, spray some water.

5. Keep quiet: Keep cockroaches away from noise and avoid human disturbance.

6. Keep dark: The place where cockroaches are raised should be dimly lit, and they should be raised in a dark room and dark box.

7. Prevent pesticide damage: Cockroaches are very sensitive to many pesticides such as pest control spirit, trichlorfon, dichlorvos, malathion, etc. It is forbidden to use pesticides in places where bees are raised.

8. Disease prevention: Disease prevention includes preventing cockroaches from getting sick themselves and preventing cockroaches from becoming hosts for other pathogens. Pay attention to the environment and food hygiene of cockroaches.

9. Prevent natural enemies: Rats, bats, ants, etc. all eat cockroaches. Pay attention to prevent natural enemies from invading during the breeding process.

5. 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.

6. What do you think of the cockroach breeding project?

It can have medicinal value. It can also clean up kitchen waste, so the benefits are considerable.

1. What are the cockroach breeding techniques?

1. Clay pot breeding method: Choose a clay pot of appropriate size depending on the number of cockroaches to be raised, and place old newspaper rolls or kraft paper rolls in the pot for the cockroaches to live in. Cover the mouth of the pot with a wooden board, preferably a wire mesh. Put drinking water and feed in a fixed position so that the cockroaches can form a conditioned reflex and regularly go to the fixed position to eat. It is best to use a porcelain basin to put the feed in the pot, so that the leftover food will not fall to the bottom of the pot, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

2. Greenhouse breeding method: Use black plastic cloth to build a greenhouse, and leave screens at both ends for ventilation. In winter, you can use double-layer plastic film for insulation or heating with fire or electric heating. Leave a walkway in the center of the greenhouse. Put a feed trough and a water trough. To prevent cockroaches from falling into the water and drowning, you can put a sponge in the trough. Put some soft materials with gaps or foam boards for packaging eggs on both sides of the greenhouse, or you can put wooden breeding boxes. This method is suitable for large-scale breeding, with low investment and low cost, but it is not easy to catch adults.

3. Wooden box breeding method

① Breeding conditions: The specifications of the breeding box are 70 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm high, and 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 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. 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 at the front and back of the box. The wooden frame is covered with paper, and then the wooden frames are stacked one by one in the breeding box to become a residence for cockroaches.

② Feeding and management: Select healthy cockroaches as breeding insects, place them in a breeding box, put in a small amount of feed, and initially feed them with green, juicy, nutritious fruit peels, bread, steamed buns, and rice. Provide sufficient clean drinking water, and 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 floor at the bottom of the box, while drinking water can only be placed on the floor at the bottom of the box. Cleaning and sanitation work should be done 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 the wooden frame paper, and the larvae will hatch after more than a month of incubation.

7. Can cockroaches be bred artificially? If so, how to raise them?

There are two types of cockroach farming:

1. Mixed breeding with earthworms 2. Mixed breeding of cockroaches and earthworms. In the practical operation of our farm, we found that there is not much conflict between cockroaches and earthworms, and they even have complementary advantages.

Cockroaches do not burrow into the soil. They just hide in the cracks of the walls of the pit house during the day and come out to look for food at night.

Earthworms burrow into the ground during the day and come out to look for food in the evening. In the process of raising earthworms, there will be feed that the earthworms cannot finish eating on the same day. These feeds are excellent food for cockroaches. In addition, the light, temperature and humidity in the earthworm breeding room are also extremely suitable for cockroaches. In our practice, we found that when the feed source is insufficient, adult cockroaches also prey on earthworm larvae. The solution is:

① During the day, keep the light in the breeding room at a certain level so that cockroaches cannot come out to look for food.

② When raising food, put some feed on the partitions of the earthworm pit to prevent cockroaches from starving and preying on earthworm larvae.

8. 10 ways to raise cockroaches?

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.
