  • Insatiable Appetite: They can consume up to half their body weight in food scraps every single day.

  • Rapid Reproduction: Under ideal conditions, a healthy population can double every 60 to 90 days.

  • High Tolerance: They are hardy and adaptable, thriving in temperatures between 15°C and 27°C (59°F–80°F).
