The intro killed me. I bought one to feed to my beardy and she wanted nothing to do with it so now what? It became "her pet". She's passed on now and I'm still taking care of her hisser. LOL
😂😂😂😂
They're not the greatest feeders. Their tibia has sharp spikes and raw they have a neurotoxin that numbs the mouth. They can struggle and their large size plus those tibia spikes means their thrashing can hurt creatures bigger than themselves. They can be okay if you only feed the nymphs from an active breeding colony but dubias are better all around IMO.
That's such a cute story.
I love my Hisser too I raised them for pets only! They are so cool 😎. Excellent decomposers!
@@TheBoldImperatorI feed mine to my bullfrog . He don't seem to mind 😂
I had 2 giant madagascan hissing roaches as a kid and they were gifted to me by a large pet store whose staff had found them running around when they did a re-fit and they were BIG! the owner said that they must have been living off spilt food from the self serve pet food bins, and that they hadn't stocked or sold them for over 2 years so they were "enterprising wee buggers" (shop owners words!) Anyway they were gifted to me along with a plastic terrarium to keep them in. He said because they had lived so long in his shop he didnt have the heart to feed them to something or get rid of them in any other way and i was lucky enough to be gifted guardianship of Oscar and Jarvis Cockeroach, as i named them! Brilliant pets for a kid, no problem being handled, only the got so fine with being handled that they wouldn't hiss much after a while as they didn't feel threatened, the hiss is after all a defence mechanism! But easy and fun to keep. Bit of fruit and access to water and a bit of sunlight and they lived another 18 months and 2 years. We never actually knew how old they were as they had been living "wild" in the pet shop for at least 2 years. Just shows how resilient the wee beasties really are! And how crap the petshop owners cleaners were, haha
I love hissing cockroaches they're supper cute!
You're hilarious dave, and incredibly intelligent about the animals you keep I'm definitely subscribing now it's time to binge watch a bunch of your videos
Awesome, thank you!
I bought a pair of these in a cup at a petco because they had about 30 babies in there with them! Took them home and set them up and they are all doing well.
Compliments to the lady behind the camera, keeping it very steady !!!
Coolest grandpa in the world. Mummy mummy, grandpa said he'd give me a giant cockroach. Can I have one please !!!!
I'm actually looking into these buggers to help me with my anxiety, they absolutely delight me
I’ve only ever heard mine hiss once, and that was when my little sister grabbed her! From day one never hissed or fled from anything lol
Haha, I bought one to feed tarantula. I put it in. Tarantula ran away. Now its in its own enclosure, feeding it lettuce for 3months
Thay have a way of hanging around 😂😂👍
How to get an relationship
@@anscpguard8508 😂😂😂😂
They take a pet like no problem, right. They're not afraid at all. Those are great cockroaches right there.
I started out with 8 of these guys I got from a friend. 11 months later and I now have almost 500 of them. They bred like crazy!! I really like them though, they crack me up and I love watching them eat. They are in a 10 gallon tank with lots of sticks and bark. They are being moved to a large tote bin, since there is just so many of them now!
I got 2 of them yesterday. I never thought I would buy cockroaches as pets but this type is fascinating.
Now I have 6 Madagascar cockroaches and 25 blaptica dubias
*Update: I now have 15 adult hissers, 40 dubias, 6 beetles. and over 50 baby hissers!!
I have 3 types now. 😅
Oh the little eyes!!!!! My heart!!!
What you said about them as feeders could not be more true!!! I went to a pet shop to get some red runners for my bearded dragon and saw the hissers and wanted to hold one, held one and Had to take her home lol
“Hey, your on film do your stuff”😂🤣
Those hissing cockroaches are beautiful
These Incredible Cockroaches are nothing like the filthy disgusting disease carrying ones that infest homes and restaurants etc instead they are so docile and fascinating to watch and up close they look like polished mahogany wood and like the video says they make a great first time Insect pet.. Robert Bridgend 🏴
2:08
Whilst your standing in front of about 20 of them lol.
Com'on Steve...you got to name your favorites! Such fun!
I love these little creatures, I'm surprised yours never hiss, they must be very comfortable I guess! Mine hiss as soon as you touch them.
They look very sweet and pretty.
They're so awesome, great video! Just an FYI, the females can hiss as well, but they don't do so as often!
Ive never heard mine do it but the males are often squabbling and hissing at each other , I will pay more attention to the girls and see if I can hear them 👍😂
Yeah Dave is a definitely great talent with the little beasties...
Camera lady is right. SUCH A BOY!😂
Started with 2... now I have like 200. So I got 4 more to mix up the breeding.
I was at the pet store getting bugs for my gecko and they had these in little cups. one was almost the same size as the cup and I felt bad for it so brought it home for a pet. Thank you for the great information!
The best channel on you tube !!! Dave you are the best !!
Wow, thanks! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've had mine since he was a nymph. His name's Wheedle.
I love that name wheedle
I loveth this channel
I absolutely love these! I adopted some last year thinking they would just be regular insects. Then after watching them I fell in love. They're just the coolest!
They are awesome. I keep various species of them. G. Oblongonata are my favorites since they can grow rather large. The biggest male I ever had was 9cm. Fun fact, the subadults can't hiss before they reach their 4th instar.
I did not know that 😂❤️👍
Wish we could have them in Ontario Canada but they took them off the list of things we can have. Used to have my own coloney. Just pets never feeders.
You are not allowed to keep these roaches?
Would love to have them as pets, since they're so cute and manageable. But where I'm from, the only breeders seem to be overseas! 🥲 Love the tank setup. Much more aesthetic than the plastic tub 😊
Sorry to hear that
I showed my grandma and she ran out of the room, lol. I was hoping to get one for a pet, along with my praying mantis.
12:22 aww he looks sad so cute
Who knew Dave was the roach whisperer and not bad with all creeping things. Thanks again Ricky 💃🏼🕺🏼☕️🍩🐈⬛🐈🤷♀️
😂😂😂thanks buddy 👍
They don’t dare hiss in the Beastie Room. They come in the door and are tranquillised by the calming vibes.
Imo, cockroaches just give me the willies. I’m a wuss
😂 You should try some of these they are really fascinating and becouse there big they dont seem like roaches 😂👍
So glad they bounce ! !
Giant indeed. Look at the size of that. Great
Thank you,Dave for your teaching. You are the Beast Master of the insect kingdom! Excellent show of Husbandry skills AAAA! Your video are stellar the best at learning God's creation! Thank you I'm honored to live in time with you! Thank you teacher! I am the Black Soldier Fly Man!
Thank you so very much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I got my 5year old 3 roaches . He absolutely love them. ❤️ we handle them every day. And to be honest I love them just as much
I just got mine last night and im already hooked haha. thanks for the helpful vid!
There great arnt they
I never thought i would hear someone say "It is very easy to become attached to to a load of cockroaches from the jungle that make a loud hissing sound"
Ha, they’re so docile! Always reminds me of Wally LOL. Very cute!
I love my hisser as well we got them as a first pet for my boy with the intent to use as feeders ares live in a communal set up with milipeades and iso pods
Ooo, they get along? Was planning on getting a millipede or three at the Invert Shows, but they've all been cancelled. Toopid Covid. 😒 That and a few pretty isopods. I didn't know they could house with MHCs. 😍
Awww ... This is awesome ... So glad UA-cam did something useful for once n your channel popped up a bit back! Thank u for entertainment and education 💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much for the video. Keep it up.
Well, you’ve gone & done it again, Dave. Never, ever would I have thought I’d not only watch a video about hissing cockroaches, but ALSO enjoy learning from it as well. Not only was it educational, but entertaining too. I do love the quiet giggles from Mrs. Camera Lady in the background…🙃
Although to be fair, I have grown to love your channel so much that I would probably watch pretty much anything you’d put out there. Your channel is incredibly interesting-I almost don’t even realize my IQ points are increasing. 😄
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Mine are pets too! Is it just me who thinks they're super cute when freshly molted? Think I need to find somewhere to sell some though, as I'm getting overrun!
Yes they soon breed 😂😂😂
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I have only females - one decided to reproduce via parthenogenesis (!) - and believe me, they definately hiss! Always scares the bejeebers out of me!
There strangely very cool little things 😂😂
''you couldn't feed them to anything''
My African Bullfrog begs to differ LOL
I also have roaches in my house, if anyone is interested. 😊
They are cute.
I love them😊🤲💖Aren't they amazing
5:03 look at the what?!
Lol I ended up getting these for my 3 year old who loved the Dubai’s and it honestly was hard for me to even feed any of the Dubai’s off unless they were males and I had to many. But these hissers are amazing pets
I plan on getting some of those and they won't be for feeders. 🙂 Good video!
There very cool , give us a shout when you want some I normally have plenty😂👍
They're really intelligent, they basically the dogs of the roaches.
Yes they are special!!!
Great video I'd love to get some fascinating creatures ad to my collection of tarantulas love your set ups looks fab
You should! I have plenty to spare 😂😂👍
great video again i love them
Love the video! Hissing cockroaches are so unique
Yes they are!
Lmfao he's just teasing .......I've laughed so hard watching this video along with camera lady with them not hissing omg he's gone to sleep hhahahhahaha ......I've just laughed to dang hard lol she said such a boy hahahahah I love this ......Springtales so many of them wow ......
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍❤️
Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches, one word to describe them. Bloody fantastic Insects, if there are any going free to a good home where I live in Bridgend Wales area let me know and I'll make sure they are looked after because they are NOT a pest, more fascinating than tbat. Rob Bridgend
I breed inverts and got tons of hissers and halloween hissers many other roaches I breed as well as millipedes and isopods and blue death feigning beetles and other beetles , but they don’t hiss cause they are used to be handling in my experience awesome video keep the videos coming
I always seem to get to see these hissing cockroaches whenever I stay in a Spanish hotel. 😂
It's so true about getting attached to them. They are very docile and interesting creatures. Mine won't even hiss at me either, i think they know we mean them no harm🥰
very cool
Great video! I’m trying to get my wife to get on board with me keeping these, but she’s quite displeased with the idea still. Cheers for Ohio, USA.
Once she see s therein the flesh you cant help but be surprised by them .👍
Hey I live in Ohio!
@@groton5376 Welcome to out little channel 👍👍
11:50 these would called a "Shiny Pokemon" hahaha! (rare color pokemon)
Brilliant video dave
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😂👍
By the way love your channel Dave
Think these will be my kids next invertebrates 👍🏻
There brilliant for kids 👍
Rewatch! Mr A is more comfortable with my invert interests these days - still not sure if he'll approve a hisser though 🤔
Me me me!! I would love a couple hissing cockroaches! Do I have to have springtails as well? They terrify me (springtails that is). I know what you mean about the feeds vs pets thing. I got dubias as feeders and it near breaks my heart to actually USE them as feeders. I have to prekill them so I know they won't suffer. I'm a softy. I also have my non-feeder pet ones. 😂 We've wanted MHCs for more than a decade, ever since my now 15 year old (pursuing zoology) was only three and she got to hold one at an exotics demo, but we lived in Canada and it is illegal to have them as pets, only "zoos" could import them. It thrills me to think we could have them here, alongside such cool things like our mantids, phasmids, and tarantulas. 😍 Love your calm manner with your critters, working towards that too. Found you from JoJo's Exo Cavern unboxing video... so glad I did! ❤️
Ah yes she bought one of my mature female cambridgei, I'm so glad your enjoying the content we try and mix it up a little but its mainly trying to share our experiences 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Will you be selling your excess MHCs? I would seriously buy a couple off you... plus, I know it would be well packed. LOL! ;)
@@4my4blessings yes I have some for sale message me on facebook 😂👍
Hello Dave! First of all.. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and great videos on UA-cam. God bless you and your family.
2nd. I am very interested in having /purchasing some of your Madagascar Hissing roaches if it's possible. Please let me know.. Jojo
I love mine, but males and females both hiss 😊
If I remember correctly, hissers can recognise their owners too!
I did not know that.
@@daveslittlebeasties I think they can pick up people's pheromones or something like that and get used to you.
They bounce well. Lol
Those are my first insect pets giving me by Dr. Alice Gray of the museum of naturalist in New York.
Awesome ❤️👍
I love my pair, felt sorry for them that they may become someones food so scooped them up for pets. Their names are Michael and Matilda. ❤
I have to say I got them to breed for one of my savannah monitors because he eats dubia so fast . But I definitely have favorites and so far I haven’t fed any . I do enjoy them . I also enjoy my dubia colony as well but not nearly as much as my hissers
Hissers do have this effect on people 😂😂😂👍
I'm actually terrified of roachs (specifically the american house roaches that tend to get huge down here in the south), I do find these hissers nice but that fear/disgust keeps me from getting too attached. Which is good sense I'm breeding a colony as food for my bearded dragon.
Have one called Bob and i was putting him and his buddies into a larger enclosure and Bob is nowhere to be found. He didnt escape though so im hoping he wasnt eaten by the others.
OMG these are Incredible Incsects and I would love some but I was told that they smell so I did not get any.
They are fine if kept clean just like anything else👍
Females hiss too.
This is how I feel about my female breeding Dubias... I've started holding juvies just for fun now, like my mantid. Weird world we've got involved in!
😂😂😂😂😂👍
i usually feed my Ts crickets, could never get attached to those little brats. but i am very seriously considering getting some hissers! (not as feeders tho :))
@perrypete420 interesting! then i may consider it.. my Ts are a little small for them right now though :)
Does your lid have air holes or is it solid? Just wondering if the babies will crawl out? I just got 3 subadults a few days ago. The small tank I have them in at the moment has ventilation in the front and a screen lid but after watching your video and seeing how well they climb glass I'm thinking I should rehouse them. Thank you for the entertaining and educational video :)
Mine are now in a glass Komodo tank with mesh vents and a glass top I made myself so its escape proof 👍
They also have a mating hiss, in addition to the defensive hiss and offensive hiss . Looks like three to me. The females also hiss..
Never heard my females make any noise 😂😂😂
@@daveslittlebeasties Females can indeed hiss, I think perhaps they don't as often because they are less aggressive than the males, and less easily spooked.
You need to put babies in a separate tank, adults eat them. I have a nursery tank for the babies. They stay there for about 2 months, then they get upgraded to larger tank.
I keep mine all together and im over run with them 😂😂😂👍
my hissers never eat their babies, i have way too many babies
@@Mae-nr7wr I try to keep the sexes separate. They have too many babies. That is why I separate the babies.
Seems like you must not be feeding them enough protein!
same.. I don't want to feed my mhc to my arachnids, they are crying.
Whats their general lifespan, if it takes 7 moults to mature do they live long past then?
You should get 2 years from an adult I should think ?
Dear Dave I am really enjoying your content especially the educational value it offers. I only have one problem that being it is "their care" and not "there care" pls don't take it as an offense it is just I am dyslexic and I constantly have to make sure I don't lose any proficiency I've gained thus far. Anyway I hope you have a good day.
Once mine started getting used to being handled it was hard to get them to his
How do you manage to keep these beasties in the beastieroom? I can imagine that the cameralady is not happy about the beasties wandering in her house😬
There not wandering around 😂😂😂😂
I have pet mice out of a similar situation 😅
god help us all if there is 7 meter roaches out there haha
😂😂😂
@@daveslittlebeasties had to replay it twice just to hear it right 😅
They're awesome. Apart from being in the naughty corner for having inverts already, my concerns are their nocturnal habits and I don't know if they're ok as solitary creatures - I don't want a surplus of them.
some keep them as single pets 👍
@@daveslittlebeasties Cheers! Might add one to my wish list then ;-)
@@amyesworldcatherinesminime7945 I always have plenty available 😂👍
Had these for a while, but got too paranoid about them escaping, seeing how good climbers they are. How do you best keep at tank so you don't have to worry about this?
Also: With a humid tank like this, how does one best prevent mold?
They are escape artists 😂just keep them well ventilated to stop any mould 👍
the question is..... did Alex get some hissing roaches???
I also want to know this
