I went to put some pinecones in my gerbils' cage and saw a few baby
roaches. What could have caused them? I don't put anything they like
to eat in there; all I put is the gerbil/hampster mix, with dry foods
such as seeds and corn. I sometimes accidentally leave it open, but I
don't think the roaches would eat it. I pick up pinecones from a
neighbor's house, and they might have roaches in them. I have a large
bag of bedding that I don't close because it's very difficult. What do
you think could have caused it? And if I clean the cage, do you think
they'll just come back? Thanks for your help!
