Getting territorial today!
Both were right next to each other in "the tube" this morning and started hissing back and forth at one another. The hiss was loud and a little different from the hiss they they do when I try to pick them up.

Masagascar Hissing Cockroach eating
Both climbed out of "the tube" and ate today. This is the first time I have seen them eat.
January 22 - January 23
- Both cockroaches are male.
- Zeus is larger and has a darker head.
- Hercules is smaller.
- They live in a 5in wide x 8in tall x 6in high cage.
- They have a thin layer of substrate in the bottom that retains a little moisture to mimic the tropical climate they are used to.
-They have a food dish and I have been giving them romaine lettuce.
-They also have a toilet paper roll to hide in.
Both are very sluggish and don't move much. The temperature in my house is generally around 73 F which may be too cold to see much activity.
I have not seen any evidence that they have eaten yet. They spend most of their day in the toilet paper roll hiding.
*I added carrots and some dog food to their dish on January 23.
