Care of the Dubia Cockroach as a Pet (Blaptica dubia)

杜比亞蟑螂的寵物護理(Blaptica Dubia)

Dubia cockroaches are great as a pet or live food (see other side). This cockroach broods its eggs in a pouch and so appears to give birth to live nymphs. It takes 4 or 5 months for a nymph to reach adulthood. Adult males live a further 9 months and females for about 15 months.

杜比亞蟑螂是很棒的寵物，另一方面，也是很好的活體飼料。這種蟑螂在育兒袋里孵化，所以看上去好像是能生出活的幼蟲。幼蟲需要4到5個月才能長成成年。成年雄性可以再活9個月，雌性可以再活15個月。

Housing

House a colony of up to 60 individuals in a glass or plastic tank, or a clear plastic storage tub which is about 40cm long, 30cm wide and 30cm high. This tank will need to grow with your colony. These guys love logs to climb on, leaf litter from non-poisonous deciduous trees (I use sycamore) on a cocoa fibre base mixed with humus and/or peat.

居住

在長約40cm、寬約30cm、高約30cm的玻璃或塑料水箱或透明塑料缸中飼養(yǎng)最多60只個體。這個容器需要隨種群繁衍而擴大。這些家伙喜歡爬原木，在椰土的基礎(chǔ)上混合腐殖質(zhì)和/或泥炭，在上面鋪上無毒的落葉樹（我用的是梧桐樹）的落葉。

Basic Care

The Dubia Cockroach needs a temperature of 25°C-30°C. You can use a heatpad underneath or along the side of the tank. My personal favourite for larger colonies is a 40W lightbulb attached to the top of the tank. They need to be sprayed with tap water every day to keep the cocoa fibre damp (but not wet).

基礎(chǔ)照料

杜比亞蟑螂需要25°C-30°C的溫度。你可以在缸下面或旁邊放一個加熱墊。對于較大的種群，我個人最喜歡的是在缸頂安一個40W的燈泡。它們需要每天噴水，以保持椰土濕度（但不是潮濕的）。

（譯注：老外喜歡模擬原生環(huán)境，個人建議無墊材并保持干燥防止霉變，用含水量多的食物如南瓜、甜瓜等補充水分，可以在保證清潔的情況下給一點點水，適當保持濕度，盡量干濕分離。溫濕度太低會長的非常慢。）

Diet

These guys will eat a range of different fruit, vegetables and roach chow. Feed on vegetables that have been thoroughly washed under the tap to remove pesticides. You can also feed on different roach chows, like my own. These guys especially love oranges and butternut squash – oranges promote breeding.

飲食

它們會吃各種不同的水果、蔬菜和蟑螂飼料。以在水龍頭下徹底洗凈農(nóng)藥的蔬菜為食。你也可以喂不同的蟑螂飼料，比如我的蟑螂。這些家伙特別喜歡橙子和南瓜——橙子能促進繁殖。

（譯注：老外似乎特別愛喂橙子而國內(nèi)更愛用南瓜和胡蘿卜。還要注意補充蛋白質(zhì)，蟑螂是雜食，不能只喂果蔬。我經(jīng)常會放吃剩的骨頭和魚刺，還有做菜剩的蛋殼（喂上面殘留的蛋液）。）

Care of the Dubia Cockroach as Live Food (Blaptica dubia)

同上，翻譯略

Housing

House a colony in a plastic storage tub containing vertical egg trays. The storage tub will be 35cm wide, 50cm long and 35cm high at a minimum. The cockroaches will live in egg trays and their frass (poo) will fall down to aid cleaning (every couple of months).

居住

將群落放在裝有垂直蛋托的塑料箱中，箱體至少為35cm寬，50cm長，35cm高。蟑螂會生活在蛋托里，它們的糞便會掉下來幫助清潔（每隔幾個月）。

Basic Care

The Dubia Cockroach needs a temperature of 25°C-30°C. You can use a heatpad in the tank underneath the egg trays.

基礎(chǔ)護理

杜比亞蟑螂需要25°C-30°C的溫度。你可以在箱子下面放一個加熱墊。

Diet

These guys will eat a range of different fruit, vegetables and roach chow. Feed on a high protein / high nutrient gut load roach chow like my own, along with vegetables that have been thoroughly washed under the tap to remove pesticides. These guys especially love oranges and butternut squash – oranges promote breeding.

飲食

它們家伙會吃各種不同的水果、蔬菜和蟑螂飼料。吃高蛋白/高營養(yǎng)的蟑螂食物，就像我自己吃的一樣，還有在水龍頭下徹底洗凈農(nóng)藥的蔬菜。這些家伙特別喜歡橙子和南瓜——橙子能促進繁殖。
