Roaches

Ideal for most insect loving reptiles and amphibians. As feeders roach carry a much higher meat to shell ratio than other feeders. They do not hop around, smell, or die in a short time. Also, roaches are very easy to breed compared to other feeders.

We do not sell any roaches considered “pests”. These roaches live in tropical environments and need the right conditions to survive (see our care sheet). Typical households are to cold for most species and they will usually die quickly with heat, food, and water.

We offer a large variety of both non-flying and non-climbing roaches as well as climbing roaches.

 Shipping of live plants, animals and insects:

 Due to the hot weather here (Near or over 100° for about 10 days now) we have been unable to ship anything live and we do apologize for the inconvenience.  Unfortunately we have no control over the delivery persons and want to make sure your shipment arrives to its destination alive. 

A few things that we require to guarantee live delivery:

1. Make sure you are shipping to an address that someone will be able to sign for them and bring them right inside.  Not only will the heat kill them but also ants are notorious for finding worms, crickets, etc.  and killing them so do not leave them outside for any reason.   If you are not going to be available yourself due to work, consider a neighbor, friend, relative, place of employment or have them held at the PO for pickup.  

2. Also we will not guarantee them if they are shipped and no one is available to sign for them and they are sent back to the PO for you to pickup.  In this hot weather the trucks are not air-conditioned and by time they finally make it back to the PO hours have passed and they won’t make it in the heat.   If you have placed an order for live feeders, etc. and you or someone else will not be available to sign for them please contact us immediately.
