Roaches Have a PR Problem
Let’s face it — roaches have an image problem. But honestly, who doesn’t these days? We all have our quirks and rough edges, and roaches are no exception. They’re often labeled as pests and disease carriers. But really — haven’t we all been trapped in a cramped train compartment next to someone coughing and sneezing their lungs out?
Most of the species we offer come from subtropical and tropical regions and can’t survive in European households. They dry out quickly and pose no threat at all. Also, captive-bred roaches don’t carry diseases, so you can rest easy about your health.
Why Keep Roaches as Pets?
The variety is practically endless — roaches come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and some even resemble stunning beetles. Who needs a boring old goldfish tank?
But that’s not all. Roaches display surprisingly complex and fascinating behavior — enough to make your next Netflix binge look dull in comparison. From elaborate courtship dances to caring for their young, there’s always something happening in the roach terrarium. You’ll find yourself watching for hours, wondering how such a tiny creature can be so full of life.
Best of all: roaches are incredibly low-maintenance!
How to Keep Roaches
All they need is a tall container with forest soil, rotting wood, and leaf litter. Roaches are easy to care for — just mist lightly twice a week to keep the humidity tropical. In our Roaches category, you’ll find a wide range of species, each with its own unique traits — it’s like Tinder for terrarium enthusiasts.
And here’s a little secret: all our roaches are captive-bred, not wild-caught. So if you’ve always wanted a pet roach but felt unsure about animal welfare — we hear you. Captive-bred roaches are already adapted to life in captivity, which reduces stress for both the animal and its keeper.
