[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 181512, member: 1090"] I leave mine alone. Eventually the roach will want to come up for a drink from the reservoir as they need water to hydrate. When it does, I take it out or crush its head and then throw it back in there (over a period of time the roach will grow if not removed but won't harm your tarantula). Lateralis (red runner) roaches are different. They crave protein and will eat your tarantula if left in too long. They are much like crickets. That's the only roach I know of that's bad to leave with your tarantula for long periods of time. Usually, I take any uneaten food out after a 24 hour period of them not eating but if they don't eat because it burrowed then I do what I stated previously. [/QUOTE]
