It may seem surprising at first, but the Madagascar hissing cockroach is a popular pet. They can be kept in a glass aquarium or a plastic container. However, most people smear Vaseline or olive oil on the sides of the enclosure to prevent the cockroach (who is an extremely good climber) from escaping. The habitat for a pet cockroach must include pieces of egg carton or other such hiding places. The Madagascar hissing cockroach does not have any unpleasant odors and the habitat isn't hard to keep clean. | It may seem surprising at first, but the Madagascar hissing cockroach is a popular pet.
