Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches

Russellaqua · May 2, 2008

Recently my pair of Madagascar hissing cockroaches has had a brood of babies. These roaches are large (grow to 3"), non-invasive, and easy to keep. I have ~30 young roaches at about 1/2" long at the moment. If anyone wants any they are 3 for $5 plus $8.95 s/h for USPS Priority Mail. The pair I have came this way, but I have no experience shipping roaches so I cannot guarantee live arrival, but every effort will be taken to ensure their safe arrival. Any I don't sell I plan on giving to my turtle as I don't want to start a huge operation. Below is a pic of some of the babies in their rearing container. PM me if you're interested. I can also answer any questions about care. They are quite simple to take care of.

Here's a pic of mommy and daddy. They're not nearly so bad as the ones that infest homes here. These won't take over the house, and they're very gentle.

I had some a few years ago. They are cool bugs but I donâ€™t think the girlfriend would go for it. Iâ€™ll ask her just to make sure. I started with five and had well over a hundred in a few months. Those things breed like cockroaches :)

I still have around 20 of these little guys left. I have a care sheet I put together for anyone who's interested. They make great classroom pets for younger children to get them interested in biology, and because they're non-invasive and very docile they can be handled by the children as well. My fiancee had some of these in one of her classrooms when she was in school.
