| Care for Rusty Reds (Blatta lateralis) Housing: Rusty Reds can not climb smooth surfaces. Any completely smooth sided container will work. Glass aquariums and smooth sided plastic boxes are suitable. Food: These insects are not picky eaters and will consume almost anything. There are several options for a base diet, including commercial cricket diets, chicken feed, and dry dog food. Grains, cereals, fruits and vegetables are also accepted. Water: We use super absorbent polymer crystals or gel as a water source. Damp paper towels, damp sponges, potatoes, or carrots are also acceptable sources of water. Temperatures: Rusty Reds will survive at a wide range of temperatures. Temperatures of 70 to 85 degrees are optimal. At the low end of this range they grow at a very slow rate. You can take this into consideration if you need to maintain a supply of a feeders that are of a specific size. |
