Surinam Roaches for Sale (Pycnoscelus surinamensis)
Buy Surinam Roaches (Pycnoscelus surinamensis) – a popular feeder insect and an OIF classic. These soft-bodied roaches are perfect for the diet of various captive animals and are one of the lowest-maintenance feeder insects available. Legal to use as feeders in Canada, Surinam Roaches don’t require a permit for possession or breeding.
Although they are a greenhouse nuisance, Surinam Roaches are not adapted to Canadian homes and won’t turn into pantry pests. As a burrowing species, they spend most of their time in the soil and have poor water retention. Without access to soil, these roaches quickly die from dehydration.
