Maybe if its come from captive breeding, its would'nt as smelly when its come from sewer.

when breeding them, maybe we could use zeolith...just opinion

Maybe zeolith is a good idea....:)

Well the smell of cockroach comes from some gland in their body. I think even if captive bred it would still smell not nice. :(

A lot of work if we feed our aros with cockroach, we need cut the wing. More easy if we feed it with super worm, imho

Yup, super worms are good for beefing up your aro, but people agreed more on feeding roaches and crickets that has already been fed with carots, making them more healthier with vitamin A, ensuring a better color enhancement for your aros, plus it makes 'em smell less than crap, but still they both stink.:D

Hmm.. Stinks for us maybe smells like great food for Aro.. :top:
When feeding with cockroaches, why bother to cut the wing/legs? Aren't they just same as with wing/legs from cricket?
