How to care for discoid roaches

Discoid roaches are popular feeder insects and intriguing pets, requiring minimal care when their needs are met. To ensure healthy colonies, keep them in a well-ventilated enclosure with a secure lid, maintain temperatures between 80-90°F, and provide an egg crate or cardboard for climbing and hiding. Their diet should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, supplemented with high-quality roach chow. Always supply clean water with a shallow dish or water crystals to prevent drowning. Regular enclosure cleaning helps prevent mold and odor, promoting a thriving environment.
