I HATE PET STORES WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SELLING! They are exactly the same with scorps and spiders too! Definately have a look at the site that Nat suggested. They definately love eucalyptus leaves and don't like the sun. Be sure you know what humidity they like too. Dog biscuits are great for a source of protein for them, and we feed out crickets grass and carrot. And the next time I'm near that pet store I'd give them a serve too

Why did they buy one? We have giant ones everywhere here! The big wood ones that fly have moved from the bush inside to escape from the heat! Well, not if we have anything to do with it

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!! I hate roaches! I can't imagine why anyone in thier right mind would want to own one as a pet! Any way each to thier own I guess.

I have a thing about the domestic roaches....... (from a girl who want's snakes) If I see a roach I let out this blood curdling scream.... just like rats. I can't stand them but the bush ones are just like big beetles!
