    Cockroachella: One of the many possible names we could name this brand new natural reconstruction of a jungle habitat and ground scape for my colony of feeder Dubia cockroaches. In this video, we explore what makes cockroaches unique, their important role in the ecosystem, and how understand them allowed us to create a new home of practical value for humans. We also watch why their old home was insufficient and why caring for feeder insects is extremely important.

    I'm in no way interested in keeping any ants or cockroaches as pets ever. And actually don't even have an interest in these creatures at all. But they way you make these videos is amazing. If all educational channels on YT and TV were like this, I bet a lot more people would watch.
    It does make me appreciate a lot of critters more though.

    Ant 45668 to Ant 45724: Hey did you get some of that roach last night?
    Ant 45724: Yeah, it tasted different than usual, much better in my opinion.
    Ant 45668: I know right, its good that the great hand is trying out new recipes, I wonder what it will give us next?
    Ant 45724: I don't know, but I hope its that triangle shaped orange and white thing the ferals told us about, I think they called it Pizza?
    Ant 45668: Hey, I told you to stop talking to those girls, they're bad news, you remember what happened to the last colony that tried to "get along" with them?
    Ant 45724: No, I was still a pupa at the time.
    Ant 45668: Oh, well it didn't end too great for that colony.

    The realization you had when the baby roach wasn't going to make it reminds me of when I learned how horrible it was to keep a betta fish in a bowl. I had kept mine in a bowl for about a year. It was the first fish I'd ever owned and I got him as a gift. Once I learned of how bad it was to relegate him to a bowl I bought an actual 10 gallon tank for him. That's what got me into fish keeping

      I used to have a HUGE multi-colony setup when I kept tarantulas and scorpions, and gave them to my folks and brother who had bearded dragons and African bullfrogs, etc. They’re a great food source, but I started to enjoy the roaches more than the other animals honestly. I can’t wait to start up another colony!
      Really hope you decided to start roach keeping and gave them a good home!

      Tpz Dino a dimmer switch is a light switch that is a knob you know like a door nob, you can press the knob in like a button to turn it off or on but you can also twist the knob to dim or brighten the intensity of the light, so instead of turning the light switch on and startling the roaches ants Canada can simply ever so slowly brighten the light at a gentle pace so that its natural to them and it will be like the sun I that its not very bright in the morning but gets brighter as the day goes on, and he can use that window of time to record the intrusion without making them get startled and scramble for cover.

      yeppeogeu meh that's nothing like what we got in south Carolina. When I was a kid we called them palmetto bugs, and those things can fly and could be the size of a softball. Sometimes you had to stomp them a few times just to kill them! No matter how much you kill they just keep coming. And they don't care that your house is dirty they like clean houses too. We never had normal roaches we had those things.
      EDIT: I sealed every crack in my home and I never seen them after that.

    There are a ton of possibilities as to how the young Nymph gained it's deformity. It could be through genetics which wouldn't be out of the question given how many you have and how some might be carrying bad genes. It is also possible given how young it was it could have injured itself and lost a leg or damaged the backside as the exoskeleton is still soft and vulnerable. Bad nutrition/living conditions could have led to this as well, but don't automatically think it was your fault when there could be other factors as to the Nymphs' unfortunate end. Sometimes things go wrong. But at least you're making them happier in the end now.

    Same philosophy I had with the rats I fed to my pet snakes. I bought the healthiest rats that I could and chose one male and one female for my breeding pair.
    I chose the pair from the 6 rats I bought by observing behavior for a few days. I had one male rat who was very nervy and got away the first 3 times I reached in to grab a rat to feed to our snakes. He won my heart, when despite his fear he started to use his own body to protect and cover one of the females, always the same female, (the one I saw him mutually grooming with the most).
    So those two became my breeding pair.
    We gave them a huge set up with tunnels and containers and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits as well as high quality rat pellets.
    They produced so much young that by the time I retired them from breeding because Mom rat was getting up there in breeding age, we had a surplus of 30 rats despite feeding my 4 snakes every 7 to 10 days! I had to find homes for all the ones too big for my snakes to eat.
    I gave the male rat a large habitat where he ruled supreme over two of his sons until he died at age 4 1/2. Mother rat had a large cage next to his with two of her daughters. She made it to 5 years. The sons and daughters have also finally passed from old age and were pampered pets until the end.
    Three of the more long lived snakes are still living but since I have limited space and resources I no longer raise their feeder rats myself. I still strive to get rats and mice from healthy, stimulating living conditions and truly think it makes a difference to my snakes health and happiness, as well as my own.

  • @TheBioExplorer
    @TheBioExplorer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    The deformed baby cockroach made me think of this. Have you read about one of the newer branches of genetics called epigenetics? We now know that various parts of our (and other living things) DNA code can be switched on and off depending on the environment, diet, medicines, chemicals, etc. This can have long ranging impact. For example in humans... The diet of the mother impacts not just the baby... but the eggs that are developing in the ovaries of a female fetus. In this way the diet and health of the mother impacts not just her child but also directly that of her grandchildren! So the improvement of your roach habitat and feeding may very well lead to healthier babies and future roach generations... and the same for the ants that feed on them! 😃💖

    • @AntsCanada
      @AntsCanada  6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      OMG! Interesting! I sure hope so because as I watched this video over a few times I did notice many deformities in my batch (e.g. oddly shaped wings and antennae) and I still buy new blood every few weeks, so I feel it must be environmental/diet. Thanks for the insight!

    • @TheBioExplorer
      @TheBioExplorer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      AntsCanada This is a good into to epigenetics th-cam.com/video/kp1bZEUgqVI/w-d-xo.html and if you want to explore more there are some great Ted Talks and a Nova clip. There's a good chance that the "new blood" you buy come from similar setups as your 1st one (or worse as they may be more cramped)... but if your babies conceived and born in the new setup and then several generations more down the line may show a marked difference from your old setup and those from commercial suppliers! It would be interesting to compare those from your old setup (If you kept it going on the side) compared to those in the new setup as time goes on. But... that would be mean to the one group and you probably wouldn't like that. Still you should be able to perhaps make more of a qualitative observation over time about just the more natural setup compared to what you remember about the old. Not so scientific... but your anecdotal observations should still be interesting.

      With that said, German Cockroaches are ligitimately bad. None of the good traits listed and litterally all of the bad pest traits... They even hurt, infect, and steal from pet roaches whenever they have a chance. Domestic Roaches are the bad guys... not the precious wild ones. 😔

    I love that you're giving them the best living conditions that you can now by replicating their natural habitat. Every animal, feeder or not, deserves no less. However, if you even suggest ONE MORE TIME that a cockroach is nibbling on my toothbrush, I'm going to mail you a box of my vomit. I'm horrifically creeped out by cockroaches. I've never had one in my house (THANK GOD!) or even seen one in real life, nor do I ever want to. I'm going to be scratching myself for the next three days now... thanks for the educational video, though, and for providing them an enriching and natural habitat. They're still disgusting :)

    Another possible reason for the nymph's deformity is inbreeding. From time to time, you need to introduce new set of roaches to your current roach colony...
