When raising Dubia cockroaches, you need to prepare a good breeding space. It is better to use paper wrappers to hold eggs. Pay attention to the raising temperature of Dubia cockroaches.
Dubia cockroach is one of the larger insects in the order Fusarium. The adult body length is 35 to 40 mm, dark brown, the male wings are pointed at the end of the abdomen, the antennae are longer, the pronotum is There is a larger semicircular brown pattern in the center. The female wings degenerate into elytra, and the two sides of the back remain. The males and females have certain flying abilities, but have extremely weak climbing and movement skills, and are completely unable to climb the smooth vertical surface.
The method of raising Dubia cockroaches is similar to that of crickets. It requires a certain amount of space, and you can use paper wrapping for eggs. They usually don't like to exercise and can't run fast. Males have feathers, and some of them can fly in small distances. They are especially active at night. If there are adult males in the breeding box, be careful to prevent them from escaping. The biggest advantage is that they don’t have anything like common cockroaches that can crawl on any smooth surface, so there’s no fear of them escaping. The adult male has complete feathers, while the female only has mutated feathers, so it is very easy to distinguish the male from the female.
Raising Dubia cockroaches can maintain the temperature at 24 to 32 degrees Celsius. If you just want to raise cockroaches but don’t expect them to grow, you can keep the temperature at 24 to 27 degrees. Their growth speed and activity will slow down, and male cockroaches will have less aggression against each other. Female cockroaches will stop growing because their metabolism slows down. , they will also have a longer life. If the temperature is raised to 29 to 30 degrees Celsius, cockroaches will be more active and grow faster. However, if the temperature is raised to more than 32 degrees, not only will the growth rate not be accelerated, but cockroaches will become inactive, and male cockroaches will not attack each other.
Basically, they eat anything. They can be fed with feed for crickets, preferably some high-protein food (needed by both animal and plant sources). Provide vegetables and fruits such as carrots, oranges, pears and other high-water foods 2 to 3 times a week. The portion should not be too much, otherwise bacteria will easily grow. All fruits and vegetables must be thoroughly washed, as residual pesticides or other chemicals will kill their lives. If you use a basin to provide water, it must not be too deep, as small cockroaches can easily drown.
When raising Dubia cockroaches, the protein in the feed is important.
