I read something that said that all or most hissing roaches have mite colonies that live on them to help prevent mold growth on the roaches, and these mites are beneficial to their health.
Is this true?
Do these mites migrate off the roaches and into rodent bedding, on rodents, etc?
I'm planning on picking up a small colony of hissing roaches tomorrow morning, and I want to make sure I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot with these guys.
IDK if they have these mites or not, but I don't want to bring anything into my house that may contaminate my other feeders.
My first guess is species specific, but I just want to make sure.
