Contents

Contain Argentine cockroaches usually without substrate, in a well-ventilated plastic or glass vessels with a sufficient area of the bottom, to increase the useful volume and as shelters use a cardboard egg cell. Preferably Hutch. to create a gradient of temperature (about 26°C in a cool corner and 29-32°C in heat).

These cockroaches can do moisture, which is obtained from food (vegetables, fruits), and therefore drinker optional, but in case of lack of moisture is very possible cannibalism, so it is recommended to give them a succulent food once in a day or two, preferably in the volume, which will fully be eaten during this time (do not leave large the number of succulent feed for a long time to avoid mold - Argentines her I don't like). Dry food suitable are the same as for the rest of cockroaches: dog food, food for aquarium fish, a selection of cereals, etc.

Breeding

This type of cockroaches is asciiportal, i.e. is ootheca in itself. Pregnancy lasts about 60 days, one ootaki out 15-20 larvae (sometimes even up to 20-30) about a centimeter length. In case of any adverse conditions (such as lack food) female can reset ootheca (of course, this will kill the eggs in it). Taking into account the fact that the female for a year is only 2-3 of pregnancy, preferably of the kind to allow. At lower temperatures retard growth and reproduction (according to some sources up to a complete stop breeding).
