Looking to welcome cockroaches into your home—intentionally? While most enclosures are marketed for spiders and small reptiles, they make perfect homes for your fascinating roach companions!

So let's have a look at what might work that's available on Amazon. Here's a guide to five excellent enclosure options that will keep your cockroaches happy and contained.
Mini Magnetic Enclosure (3×3×6 inches)

Choosing the Right Enclosure for Your Roaches
When selecting an enclosure for pet cockroaches, consider:
- Species size: Larger species like Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches need more space than smaller species.
- Colony size: Most cockroaches thrive in small groups of 4+ individuals.
- Ventilation: Proper airflow prevents mold while maintaining humidity.
- Security: Cockroaches are escape artists—ensure all openings are secure.
- Accessibility: Front-opening doors make maintenance easier.
Remember that while these enclosures are marketed for spiders and reptiles, they're perfect for creating a comfortable home for your fascinating cockroach companions!
