Adam Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 They're an Australian roach, first recorded here in Gisborne - hence the name. It can be found in North Island and the very top of South Island. I'd like to get in touch with anyone who has an established feeder colony of any roaches.

Caryl Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 We were told they were German in origin and have been plagued with them for about 3 years now after an unsprayed container was opened :evil: Open the lid of the pond filter and they scuttle off in all directions. There are baby ones in there too so definitely a breeding colony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varanophile Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 anyone in akl got these? had some from living art (cheers mark) and they escaped....no doubt they will surface again.....in mass. They were a great food, lizards seem to love the way they scuttle- 'crunch' or if someone can post me some pm me and i'll direct credit your bank account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
