All exotic roaches are illegal in Canada Plus me and the wife have already dealt with a German roach infestation.. not fun, even if the tropical species are unable to infest or very low risk the wife wont permit it and I don't blame her. I agree with her completely there lolSo unfortunately roaches are out.

Exotic Mantids, Exotic Stick insects, Exotic butterflies, Exotic millipedes are others are out as well. Illegal in Canada.

Hmm with those restrictions, the only feeder that springs to mind would be silk worms. However, they are not all that easy to breed, the eggs take quite a while to hatch and you need to be able to order mulberry leaves, as that is all that they eat. That being said, they do make excellent, nutritious feeders. They are one of the only worms low in fat and can be a constant part of an animal's diet.

Not to threadjack this or anything, but I never knew that.....and I happen to have a mulberry tree/bush in my backyard. Sounds like a business idea

I don't pretend to know the laws in Canada, but to set the record straight, hissing cockroaches are not a species that infests. In Canada it is unlikely that these guys would live for more than a couple days outside of a breeding tub. They require humidity and heat. I detest cockroaches also but these guys are different.
