SURINAM ROACHES
(Pycnoscelus surinamensis)
This is an OIF classic and was one of the first bugs we offered for sale. These soft-bodied insects make a great addition to the diet of many captive animals and are easily one of the lowest maintenance feeder insects out there. This is of the handful of roach species that can be legally used as feeders in Canada and don't require a permit to possess or propagate. ⅚
While they are a greenhouse nuisance, this roach is not adapted to living in Canadian homes, and because of their biology they won't become pantry pests. As a burrowing species, they spend most of their time in the soil and have very poor water retention - individuals who can not get back to soil quickly die from dessication.
