  2. ...."be donated to local zoos" wtf? Few years ago we had stink bugs so bad.all this shit coming from other countries. Probably on purpose. Regardless they need to be killed so they don't "accidently" spread out throughout the states.

  5. Could have been the actual snacks. Orientals will eat anything.

  7. I have some of those but they're dead. I do raise Dynasty Titus beetles, the USAs biggest beetle. They take years to grow to adult then only live a year or two. About as exciting as raising box turtles, nothing happens fast. You want fast raise guppies.
