I Fox Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Ok thanks. I collected a gravid female Parcoblatta pennsylvanica and I wanted to know it I could rear the nymphs, I think she already laid a ootheca somewhere in the cage.

Hisserdude Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah, Parcoblatta are pretty easy to keep. If you were further north, getting your Parcoblatta to breed year round could be difficult, as some northern strains require a cool (but not freezing) period in the winter to develop properly. However where you live, they should have no such requirements. Just keep them moist, give them plenty of hides, like bark, dead leaves and paper towel rolls, feed them dog/cat food, fruits and veggies, and they should be good!
