CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the correct way to raise cockroaches at home? (What to feed cockroaches)

1. 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.

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. 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. 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.

5. What materials are needed for cockroach breeding?

1. First of all, you need a storage box (or various similar containers with smooth sides so that cockroaches cannot escape), the size of which can range from thirty to fifty centimeters to larger, depending on the number of cockroaches to be raised.

2. Then you need an egg cage and egg tray. This thing is used to increase the breeding space. Dubia cockroaches like to live under stones, dead wood, bark and other objects on the surface. Egg cages can provide a sense of security. The egg cage structure is suitable for stacking, which increases a lot of breeding space. At the same time, the egg cage can absorb water and play a role in regulating humidity.

3. Then it is super simple to put the egg cage in the storage box. This is much simpler than putting the elephant in the storage box. There are three strategies: I. Put it horizontally in the storage box. Put more layers to make it easier to observe. You can open it and see what is inside. II. Put the egg cage vertically in the storage box. It is said that this can provide more space and is suitable for breeding with a relatively high density. III. Combining the two is a good strategy.

4. There is also a non-essential service - drinking water. Since I carefully raise cockroaches so that they can get enough water from the food, I don’t have drinking water facilities. If you friends are too busy with military affairs or have no intention of showing kindness to cockroaches, you can choose to purchase drinking water facilities.

5. The water outlet of the bird water bottle sold in the bird market should be filled with cotton to prevent the small cockroaches from drowning.

6. Finally, let's talk about the bedding. Now there is a view that dry feed such as cat and dog food, tropical fish feed or oats should be placed on the bottom of the breeding container as bedding.

6. 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.

7. What happens if you feed cockroaches?

Cockroaches can only bring us bacteria, pollution and disasters

Because cockroaches are pests! And they have no use value. Cockroaches have strong reproductive capacity. The key is that we raise animals for a certain purpose, such as having medicinal value or being able to accompany us.

In this case, how could anyone raise cockroaches? It would only harm themselves and the people around them.

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.
