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

杜比亚蟑螂的宠物护理(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.

杜比亚蟑螂是很棒的宠物，另一方面，也是很好的活体饲料。这种蟑螂在育儿袋里孵化，所以看上去好像是能生出活的幼虫。幼虫需要4到5个月才能长成成年。成年雄性可以再活9个月，雌性可以再活15个月。

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

在长约40cm、宽约30cm、高约30cm的玻璃或塑料水箱或透明塑料缸中饲养最多60只个体。这个容器需要随种群繁衍而扩大。这些家伙喜欢爬原木，在椰土的基础上混合腐殖质和/或泥炭，在上面铺上无毒的落叶树（我用的是梧桐树）的落叶。

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).

基础照料

杜比亚蟑螂需要25°C-30°C的温度。你可以在缸下面或旁边放一个加热垫。对于较大的种群，我个人最喜欢的是在缸顶安一个40W的灯泡。它们需要每天喷水，以保持椰土湿度（但不是潮湿的）。

（译注：老外喜欢模拟原生环境，个人建议无垫材并保持干燥防止霉变，用含水量多的食物如南瓜、甜瓜等补充水分，可以在保证清洁的情况下给一点点水，适当保持湿度，尽量干湿分离。温湿度太低会长的非常慢。）

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.

饮食

它们会吃各种不同的水果、蔬菜和蟑螂饲料。以在水龙头下彻底洗净农药的蔬菜为食。你也可以喂不同的蟑螂饲料，比如我的蟑螂。这些家伙特别喜欢橙子和南瓜——橙子能促进繁殖。

（译注：老外似乎特别爱喂橙子而国内更爱用南瓜和胡萝卜。还要注意补充蛋白质，蟑螂是杂食，不能只喂果蔬。我经常会放吃剩的骨头和鱼刺，还有做菜剩的蛋壳（喂上面残留的蛋液）。）

同上，翻译略

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

将群落放在装有垂直蛋托的塑料箱中，箱体至少为35cm宽，50cm长，35cm高。蟑螂会生活在蛋托里，它们的粪便会掉下来帮助清洁（每隔几个月）。

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.

基础护理

杜比亚蟑螂需要25°C-30°C的温度。你可以在箱子下面放一个加热垫。

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.

饮食

它们家伙会吃各种不同的水果、蔬菜和蟑螂饲料。吃高蛋白/高营养的蟑螂食物，就像我自己吃的一样，还有在水龙头下彻底洗净农药的蔬菜。这些家伙特别喜欢橙子和南瓜——橙子能促进繁殖。
