Cuban Burrowing Roaches (Byrsotria fumigata)
$4.00 -
$24.00
A heavy-bodied Cuban roach adapted to a substrate-centered display. Cuban Burrowing Roaches (Byrsotria fumigata) spend substantial time within the enclosure substrate. Current options are 1 Mixed Nymphs and 5 Mixed Nymphs.
Colony setup
Provide a secure, ventilated enclosure with deep, loose, absorbent substrate that supports burrowing, plus surface leaf litter and stable cover. Maintain a moisture gradient without flooding lower layers. Offer a balanced dry staple, pesticide-free fresh foods, and clean hydration, removing spoilage promptly.
Keeper and arrival notes
Monitor the colony through feeding response and occasional surface activity instead of repeatedly excavating it. Use a transfer container and secure lid. Prepare the substrate before delivery and review Shipping Add-Ons and Exotic Roaches.
A roach that lives underground. Cuban Burrowing roaches (Byrsotria fumigata) are known for their dark, glossy bodies and their habit of tunneling through loose substrate rather than staying out in the open. Watching their burrows develop is part of the appeal for keepers who enjoy naturalistic setups.
A group of mixed nymphs settles in and builds a colony over time, making this a rewarding species for anyone who wants to watch behavior as much as appearance.
- Dark, glossy body
- Naturally burrows through substrate
- Builds into a colony from mixed nymphs
- A great pick for behavior-focused keepers

Prepare for this exact animal
A live specialty-roach listing for culture or display. Compare adult size, colony behavior, containment, and the exact culture format before ordering.
Best matched for
Keepers prepared for secure containment, species-appropriate substrate and hides, and long-term colony maintenance.
Keeper caution
Climbing, flight, burrowing, moisture, and reproductive behavior vary by species; use the exact listing rather than feeder-roach assumptions.
Plan your enclosure
A prepared home comes first
Review the product description and selected option, then gather the enclosure and supplies your animal needs. Ask keeper support if you need help planning the setup.
Before checkout
Confirm the animal, enclosure, and arrival plan
The selected option and the exact listing—not a group-wide assumption—determine what is included.
What should be ready before arrival?
Prepare a secure species-appropriate enclosure, retreat, substrate, ventilation, moisture and temperature plan, and any listed food before the package ships.
What does my selected option include?
Quantity 1 means one selected pack or option, not necessarily one individual animal. A 10-count option at quantity 2 means two packs of 10. Unsexed animals are not a guaranteed male-female pair, and an adult photograph does not promise adult stock.
How should I plan for live delivery?
Have the enclosure ready before dispatch, monitor tracking, and arrange to bring the parcel indoors promptly. Keep the unopened shipping container out of direct sun and temperature extremes, and unpack in a secure area. Free shipping does not remove species, destination, or weather restrictions.
Where can I ask a species question?
Contact keeper support with the full product title, selected option, destination, and planned enclosure before ordering.
