How To Set Up A Cockroach Tank | My Cockroach Enclosure

“Look, they’re not called cages, they’re called enclosures.
They haven’t been called cages in like a century. My brief marriage, that was a cage. ” -- Kelly Foster (We Bought a Zoo, 2012).

Today I decided to film a video of how I am setting up my Madagascan hissing cockroach enclosure. I really hate the word 'cage', because I feel there is a difference between simply putting an invertebrate in a plastic tub with food so that they can survive, and actually setting up a habitat for them to thrive in.

I like my enclosures to be as beautiful as possible, so I decided to convert an old, succulent display into a jungle floor for my cockroaches.

I hope you learn some new facts and pick up some pointers on their care. I have already posted a cockroach video about what it's like to keep COCKROACHES AS PETS - you can find that video HERE: youtu.be/_WHYIBSyEe8
