What to do to get rid of roaches?

the roaches(or cockroaches) live up to a year.

I have been taking care of a cockroach for 18 months (so far) after my cats took one of his legs and and antennae (and no they do not grow back). I feed him organic mixed berry powder and dried cat food crushed up into cockroach bite sizes. He seems to like the berry mix best. He is still doing great after 18 months and he was an adult when I got him so we shall see how long he will live. Oh and of course he gets plenty of fresh filtered water!

Yes, albino animals are rare period. My white face and normal grey cockatiels just hatched 3 chicks. A normal grey, a white with dark pupils and a white with red pupils. I have heard that the latter are just white lutinos with red eyes. But after speaking with my avian vet, he explained that it is possible for all species to have albino counterparts.
