A roach retirement home. Must have live cockroaches in it and must be sized to their scale, for their comfort and enjoyment.
We don't carry hissing cockroaches, so I had to call around to find these. And can I say? UGH! Absolutely disgusting. I handle crickets and mealworms and superworms on a regular basis, and people always squirm and grimace and ask how I can put my hands into pails of bugs and I just kind of shrug. No biggie. Hell, I handle tarantulas and THEY don't hold a candle to these things. They're all ... scuttling and clingie! They have little pokey legs that GRAB you when you touch them. *shudder* Seriously. Just DO NOT WANT.
I am very much a 'live and let live' kind of gal, but these guys went DIRECTLY into the freezer when I was done this, and the next morning I fed them to my chickens. *shudders moar*
