# Domino cockroach — care routine

Therea petiveriana

## Before arrival

- [ ] Expect hidden juveniles and slow colony development rather than frequent visible adults.
- [ ] Wildform proposes 40 × 30 × 30 cm for a small culture, with nutritious deep leaf-litter substrate, bark and secure fine-gap lid. Do not assume adults cannot climb smooth surfaces.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Check the moist refuge, leaf supply and lid.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Review hidden juvenile/egg presence and substrate condition before disposal.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Investigate poor growth or repeated wing damage through nutrition, density and moisture rather than assuming a harmless cosmetic change.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
