Captive-bred Kenyan Dwarf Cockroaches, Paraplecta minutissima, available as 10 mixed-size nymphs.

A very small, active species suited to a more bioactive-style setup with a lot of leaf litter.

These charismatic small roaches are full of character, for their small size.

Although they are smaller than most cockroaches their active nature more than makes up for it.

A mature colony of Kenyan Dwarf Cockroaches is a joy to keep, full of activity.

They also make great feeders for dart frogs and smaller species of predatory invertebrates or nymphs.

They will feed on leaf litter, fresh fruit and veg and dry pellet foods.
