24. The Other Herpcast Discusses Feeder Roaches with Aaron Pauling

Feeding insects is a barrier for many herpetoculturists interested in working with any one of the amazing insectivorous reptile and amphibian species.  Crickets have been the solution for most hobbyists but they are not a valid option for all keepers.  Alternatively, feeder roaches and isopods are a great choice of prey for many herp species.  These insects may be used as the primary feeder or fed with crickets to provide variety.  Aaron Pauling (www.aaronpauling.com) is going to help us cover the basic attributes and care requirements of these often misunderstood feeder insects.  The goal is, of course, to encourage hobbyists to enter into the realm of the “other” species.
