Lobster roaches

[Briankm]

I just ordered 5000 lobster roaches.... OMG


I should be getting them on sat.

If any get out my Family will literally murder me in my sleep. what can i do to make sure i have a hundred percent non escapable tub for them. I got two tubs and a jar of petroleum jelly(pretty sure its the same stuff as vaseline.. but if its not i'll go get one that says vaseline...)

and then imma get some packaging tape... and perhaps some olive oil too. will that work?

i should be able to start just feeding out of them right away to my two beardies and leos right?

As for preventing escapes, its going to be real hard with lobster roaches. They're climbers. Why did you choose lobsters instead of turks? I dont know much about lobsters, ive only had dubia, but not many people recommend them because of the fact that they can climb plastic and i think even glass.

With 5000, id say feeding out of them right away would be fine.

well my dubias just were not breeding fast enough. and lobster's are CHEAP

i got em for pretty much the same price as crix
