- When I first got the cockroaches Pete (the younger one, because of his stripes) was in the back left corner and Repete was hiding underneath the newspaper.
- I did not see the cockroaches change position for the first couple of days.
- The cockroaches did not react to light in the mornings
- I gave the cockroaches fresh lettuce and water on the 15th and the cockroaches did not react to me putting new food in their cage and I never saw them eat any of it.
- 16th to 18th I never saw the cockroaches moves. I tapped the cage made lots of noise but they did not budge. I thought I killed them. My husband lightly poked Pete with a fork and he moved a little. I was happy to see I did not kill them!
- On the 20th we cleaned the cockroach's cage. Both of the cockroaches were very active because they couldn't hide (I think). Repete was drinking a lot of water and Pete was crawling all over the cage. When we cleaned the cage we put in a smaller piece of newspaper so Repete could not hide in it.
- I also observed the Pete could crawl on the cage and Repete could not. It seems like Repete lost his stickiness on his legs because of his age.
- With the smaller piece of newspaper I could see that they moved much more. I witnessed both of them eating a piece of bread.
