8-year-old Sadie kept hounding me for a Praying Mantis habitat and eggs. How could I refuse? While I was on Insect Lore, looking to order her request, I saw a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach habitat as well. "How would you also like a couple of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches?" I asked her when she crawled out of bed this morning looking like hell warmed over (like mother, like daughter, eh?). Quoth the Sadie: "I would LOVE it!!!!"
It's not for nothing we call her The Bug.

You are a good Mom. I like bugs, but I would draw the line at roaches of ANY kind. lol
I know, roaches=eeew! But, MHC's are really cool. We handle them at the local science center all the time. We'll see how Sadie likes having 2 around. Mantises are also interesting pets, I hear. They live several years and you can feed them crickets? Hmmm . . .
You'll have to post pics and let us know how it goes. :)
BTW, I deleted my Twitter account since I hadn't used it since 2009. If you ever join Facebook, let me know. :)
My firstgrader Alek is writing a report on hissing cockroaches right now :-) Your beautiful picture came very handy and in the right time. Thanks!
