[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 139702, member: 27677"] We don't have Dubai Roaches, we use Wood Roaches but they fight if new roaches are added to the colony, I'm not sure how much injury they sustain though, there are plenty of hiding places and visual barriers to help them avoid aggression. At dinner time certain roaches will sample all the offerings then go back and fight for the one they want, even if it's five slices of the same carrot! What they deem special about a particular slice I don't know, but they'll fight savagely until one is driven off. I like how reactive they are, quick to respond to anything added to the enclosure. I don't know them by name (!) but now when I want roaches for the frogs I buy them even though I have two thriving colonies. I set the enclosures up to be decorative and natural looking with lots of bark and leaves, they even have false bottoms so moisture comes from the bottom up, but I do add water to a corner now and then. To me they are as interesting as the animals I (supposedly) breed them for. The scorpions don't like them and they are too quick to hide to be good feeder for the lizards so they became pets in their own right. Escape is punishable though, death by Paratilapia polleni! He loves them. [/QUOTE]
