No great interests shown in Eucalyptus torelliana.
Uncovered them, all 18 alive. Changed out top substrate
Added 1/2 Eucalyptus robusta first time
Added a piece of Eucalyptus torelliana (毛葉桉) bark for cover
Mixed in more dried grass on top. Ratio of cypress:gum mulch increased (more cypress)
This is a journal about my GIant Burrowing (Rhino) Cockroach, Macropanesthia rhinoceros. They're from the forest floor of Queensland, Australia. This really isn't a scientific document by any length, just a journal that I keep so that I can track what I have done. So please bear with me for any errors, or personal opinions. Please feel free to use "comments" to point out any mistakes, or improvement suggestion.

Seems feeding fine
Apple finished. Replaced non-crispy leaves, immediately started to mulch on dried leaves. Increase the ratio on cypress mulch, since gum mulch will run out soon

18 still alive
Room temp kept at 28C during day time since no one is at the house, need to turn up the air conditioning to save cost, keep an evaporative vest on top to keep cool.
Uncovered them, all 18 still alive, changed out top substrate

Added 6 slightly larger males into collection
A friend gave me 6 different size males as bday gift, he thinks they're 2 years old and probably all males.

First day
Imported 6.6 1year old nymphs from AIF
Keeping them with sand/eco earth mix, damped substrate. Feeding food comes with package, dried gum leaves and gum wood mulch. Gum leaves probably Eucalyptus crebra, Eucalyptus globulus or Eucalyptus tereticornis, most probably E. Crebra since these are found in the same habitate of GBR in Australia. Let’s call them AIF leaves and mulch for the time being.
Keeping them in a damped 3” of sand substrate as recommended by AIF
