CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What food is better for cockroaches? (What food is better for cockroaches?)

1. Do cockroaches like to eat pears?

Cockroaches love to eat, and their food can be carrots, apples, cucumbers, oranges, pears, cantaloupe, bananas, etc. Cockroaches like to live in warm, humid, food-rich and crevices-filled places.

Cockroaches also have the habit of living in groups. It is often found that there are always a few, dozens or hundreds of them gathered together in a habitat. This is mainly due to the attracting effect of pheromones. They like darkness and are afraid of light. They hide during the day and come out at night. This is also an important habit of cockroaches. Temperature. The breeding temperature of Dubia is between 15 degrees and 32 degrees. The temperature in winter is relatively low. Below 15 degrees may cause it to die, and above 32 degrees is not ideal either.

2. 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.

3. What do cockroaches eat to survive?

The scientific name of cockroach is Blatta. It has chewing mouthparts and can chew food. Cockroach's food is very complex, ranging from ordinary food to shoe brushes, wire rubber, cardboard, soap, paint chips, dead leaves, textiles, leather, hair, etc. Entomologists have found that 12 species of cockroaches can live for a week on paste, and American cockroaches can live for a month by drinking only water, and can still live for 3 weeks without food and water. Cockroaches will cannibalize each other when food is scarce or the space is too crowded.

4. What do cockroaches eat? Do they eat melon seeds?

Cockroaches will eat melon seeds. Cockroaches are omnivores and will eat almost anything. If they are extremely hungry, they will also eat melon seeds. Cockroaches can tolerate hunger, but not water shortage.

Cockroaches like to live in warm, humid, food-rich and cracked places, which are the four basic conditions they need for breeding. These conditions are generally found in buildings where people live and reside, so cockroaches have become health pests that harm thousands of households.

5. Can cockroaches be raised 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.
