Breeding is very simple and can be easily achieved with a container with a lid and ventilation, egg cartons, protein food and a drinker. Shelfordella lateralis “Turkestan Cockroach” reproduce quickly. The females lay an egg packet in the form of an ootheca every 2-3 weeks. The approx. 30 eggs are well protected in the ootheca. The nymphs are about 3 mm in size and hatch after 2-4 weeks. Depending on the temperature, the nymphs become sexually mature after 4 months.
More information on breeding can be found in our Insektenliebe Feeding Roaches Breeding Kit.
