For the Love of Cockroaches: Husbandry, Biology, and History of Pet and Feeder Blattodea Hardcover – July 5, 2016

Very happy to have this book in my library.

In my opinion, this is Orin McMonigles best book yet! It is enjoyable to read and look through and covers the basics of cockroach biology and their history with humankind. Most important, this book contains extensive information on keeping cockroaches as pets or as feeders for other pets -- although if you start off keeping them only as feeders, I'll bet these wonderful creatures will win you over into keeping them for their own sake as well. ;) I have found the extensive species-specific information very interesting and helpful and am grateful that the author took the time to include photos of each species, as well as the many other beautiful photos throughout the book.Highly recommended!

Anyone with a passing interest in cockroach biology and husbandry will benefit from this book. I've been keeping dozens of roach species for several years, and this is the book I wish I had in the beginning. Yes, the internet and forums are full of helpful information, but Orin is the undisputed King of the the Roaches, and he's compiled years of knowledge and experience in this one easy to follow resource.The book features an informative introduction to the biology and behavior of cockroaches, from breeding and life cycles to camouflage and mimicry, but the bulk of the text focuses on species profiles of the most common roaches in the hobby. Each profile includes backstories, histories of the current cultures in the hobby, unique characteristics of the species and best husbandry techniques - all with amazing full color photos.This is definitely NOT a rehash of information that's available elsewhere. I'm certainly no expert, but I do have several years of obsessive involvement with keeping and breeding roaches. After reading this book, though ... wow. I need to up my game. With all the new info, care tips and insights, my colonies are going be even healthier and happier. If you're keeping roaches as pets, this book is a must have.

Très bon bouquin sur ces charmantes petites bêtes avec un bon aperçu général de plusieurs espèces pour la maintenance en élevage, à conseiller vivement
