• On March 30-31 Pete and Repeat did not move positions. Pete remained on the side of the cage and Repeat stayed under the newspaper. When I would try to move them, they would both hiss, so I decided to let them be for a little while.
• On April 2 I observed that Repeat was sitting in the water dish, and seemed to be drinking the water, but I could not tell for sure.
• I noticed on the cockroaches’ backs different color and sized stripes. The stripes were more on Repeat, and I wonder if that is because he is older.
• My apartment was a few degrees warmer than it has been other days and both the cockroaches were much more active. Repeat was moving across the bottom of the cage, while Pete was climbing everywhere.
• On April 5 I noticed that Pete and Repeat do not often walk near each other in the cage. The two cockroaches are never eating at the same time, or climbing on each other.
• I fed the cockroaches a piece of bread and 2 carrots and they both seemed to enjoy it
• The more I hold Pete, the more agitation he needs to make him hiss. I wonder if that is because he is so used to my human contact that he did not feel threatened.
* When I hold the cockroaches in my hand I notice them feeling around my hand with their antennae all the time before they move.
