Hi Everyone, I am Barb Pendergrass from Michigan. I've had hissing roaches for only about a year now, and have really enjoyed them. Recently, I was able to...
Hi Barb, Welcome to the group. I've had hissers for almost 4 years. It started out as food for my gecko but I actually enjoy the hissers more. :) There's not...
Thanks Jim. A list with not much volume works for me. I brought 13 home from work about a year ago, and they have turned into hundreds. Barb Pendergrass ...
Is it common for these guys to practice cannibalism? I have seen newly emerged roaches eat their discarded skin, but this morning, I saw a large adult devour...
what type of roaches do you have? Some roaches are very prone to canniablism. I think orange heads are the most likely to eat their own. It just happens,...
Gosh Jeremy, I don't have a clue what kind I have. Their heads are dark though, darker than their bodies. I am a rank novice at this, and have only that them...
Hi all, I'm Linda, a friend of Barb Pendergrass. She told me about your group. I have had a half dozen or so of Barb's "kids" for a couple of months and they...
Hey guys! I've been having problems with my discoids. As of the last 2 weeks, I've been noticing adults and one nymph with wing deformities. Mostly like they...

I have 2 hissers that have terrible mite problems. I have used flour and a small brush to remove them, but they keep coming back. Any way to completely...
I don't know if this would work but you can get diatoms. They are the bodies of little one celled things. People scatter them around the house to rid the...
Well, being an exterminator by profession, I know DE is used for cockroach control, so I would be afraid to use it for the mites. I may just have to get rid of...
Hey All, I haven't checked my e-mail in awhile and was suprised to see all the activity with the group!! Jeff, mites are tough to get rid of once your colony...

that is an otheca (my spelling is off, exhausted). You have hissers, don't you? basically, it comes out, get fertilizes and retracts. The female will then...
I have a small colony of hissing cockroaches that appear to be doing well, shedding and growing at a good rate. The problem I have is that while I provide...
I think your doing good with the diet. I offer oranges and they eat those readily. Also I provid dog food and apples. Mine seem fine. If your concern just...
Linda, I agree with Jeremy, that diet is fine. Here's what I do and it's been working for over three years. I keep dry dog/cat food available at all times and...
Thanks for the tip on peeling the fruit. It never occurred to me. When I give mine an orange treat, I usually toss in a wedge, peel and all. I won't to that...
I just joined the group and do not have hissing roaches YET! What and HOW do the members feed their Hissers? I would be interested in hearing from lots of...
Where are you Staci? I have more than I need. If you're close, I'd be happy to give you some. Probably someone on the list with more experience than I would...
I am in Oregon. Obviously you are successful with your husbandry practices or you would not have more than you need right now. What are your's housed in? Staci...
Oh gosh, I'm in Michigan. I think they would freeze if I sent them. Mine are in a very large aquarium/terrarium. I have large chunks of bark as substrate, A...
Hi, my name is Linda, I am a friend of Barb Pendergrass and the recipient of a half dozen of her hissers. I have mine also in an aquarium setting on a...
Glad to hear your success with the hissers. I like the setup you have and think I will also use bark chips as a substrate. Do you put extra heat on yours or...
The dry bearded dragon pellets are probably filled with protien and that is the reason they are drawn to it. Do you offer them fallen leaves from trees they...
