Seeking COCKROACHES...

[Zephyr]

Yep, it's me again! :P
I'm looking for YOUR native roaches!
If you've got any cockroaches and can find them in 5+ quantities, I'm willing to trade for feeder supplies/feeders.
Post replies here please! :P

Sigh... Kyle, hun, you worry me. Really.

[Zephyr]

Heh, I'm working on revolutionizing the feeder industry. ^^

like Brooklyn native cockroaches?
I might be able to find you some

Yes, Brooklyn natives work.
How many and how soon can you get them? :P

you're in luck
we have a small cabinet that seems to harbor a small population (we keep killing them as they emerge)
not sure how to contain them since they can climb anything, squeeze through anything, and are extremely quick and clever
suggestions are welcome
I suppose a deli cup with pin holes will be okay for transport
I suppose I could try to catch them by baiting them
I just don't know what would be more attractive to them than the stuff they can already find around the kitchen . . .
I'll go look at the situation later and figure something out
perhaps I should just pack up the cabinet and ship it to you - I bet it's laden with offspring ready to hatch

Could you make a sticky tape roach trap? With yummy smelly food in the middle, surrounded by very strong packaging tape? No good for catching them as "pets" of course, unless you want legless roaches.

Kyle wants them to reproduce, so he can revolutionize the feeder industry
they may need legs to mate

Yes, that's why I said not to catch them as "pets" but get rid of them as pests.

If I were you, Rhea, I'd just throw the cabinet out!
