CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to feed cockroaches (How to feed cockroaches)

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. How to feed Dubia cockroaches?

1. Temperature. The temperature for Dubia breeding is between 15 and 32 degrees. The temperature in winter is relatively low. Below 15 degrees may cause its death, and above 32 degrees is not ideal.

2. Humidity. Keep the humidity between 50% and 80%. Too high humidity will cause mold and disease, while too low humidity will be detrimental to peeling and growth. Generally speaking, humidity does not need to be considered in the south, but the north is relatively dry, so the humidity of the breeding box needs to be appropriately increased.

3. Food. Dubia is easy to raise. You can choose cat food, dog food, bran, cornmeal, bread, fish feed, etc. You can feed it some carrots, apples, cucumbers, oranges, pears, cantaloupe, bananas, etc. every week.

4. When raising Dubia cockroaches, you must control the amount of food you feed them. Some dry feed is enough for about 2-3 days. As for foods with higher humidity, such as cucumbers and apples, the amount should be controlled so that they can be eaten the next day to avoid spoilage.

5. Dubia cockroaches shed their skin as a sign of growth. Dubia cockroaches shed their skin frequently and will not move when shedding their skin, so don't think they are dead, and don't help them shed their skin. In some cases, they are really dead, so don't worry about it.

You can also feed it green dates

You can feed it apples.

5. 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.

6. Cockroach breeding technology and site construction?

1. Breeding site

Cockroaches are different from other animals. It is best to breed them in a relatively closed place to prevent them from escaping. Prepare a clay pot of suitable size, put some old newspapers or kraft paper rolls at the bottom, and hang drinking water and feed on the wall of the pot with iron hooks, and then cover the mouth of the pot with iron gauze and wooden boards.

2. Environmental factors

The humidity in the place where cockroaches live cannot be too low, generally it should be kept at around 70%, and they should be sprayed with water regularly to keep them moist. The temperature should not be too high, and it should be kept at around 28-33 degrees Celsius all year round. Keep away from noisy places, keep quiet, and the light should not be too strong. It is best to breed them in a dark room so that the cockroaches can grow normally.

3. Feed ratio

Cockroaches are omnivorous insects with strong digestive abilities and large appetites, so it is necessary to use nutrient-rich feed to supplement their nutrients. Mix corn meal, salt, stone powder, fish meal, lard, brown sugar, rapeseed cake, etc. and put them in the feeding trough, and make sure there is water in the trough at all times for the cockroaches to drink.

4. Prevent pesticides and pests

Cockroaches are very tenacious and reproduce quickly, but their resistance to agricultural pesticides such as Pesticide and DDT during the nymph stage is very low. They are prone to loss of appetite and even large-scale death. Therefore, pesticides must never be sprayed or applied near places where cockroaches are raised.

7. How to feed water to cockroaches?

Take a small pocket-sized bowl and place it in the cockroach nest. The cockroaches will take the initiative to drink water when they are thirsty.

8. How many times a day should artificially bred cockroaches be fed?

Artificially breed cockroaches and feed them 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.
