The Argentine forest cockroach (Blaptica dubia)
Cockroaches are among the most resilient feeding insects. They are undemanding both in keeping and in shipping. They can usually last several days, yes
They can even go without food for a few weeks and can easily cope with colder and hotter temperatures during shipping .
They represent a good change and alternative to crickets and grasshoppers. Since the males do not call, there is no noise pollution when kept or in the terrarium if an animal is not eaten immediately.
The fear that escaped animals could breed in an apartment is usually unfounded with this species. In order to reproduce, an apartment would need a lot of moisture
have spots and be littered with rubbish, which is usually not the case.
Escaped animals usually cannot find enough food and ultimately die.
