It's possible, but I would think not as they seem to be digested differently. When I feed crix, on occation, I have found undigested body parts in my dragons stools. I know that they can also cause impactions due to being somewhat hard to digest. That is why proper size is critical. I have not had this problem with roaches. They seem to always get completely digested and the dragons eat larger roaches than they would crix without any problems. I feed all my feeder bugs the same diet as I do the animals they are fed to as a general rule. The bugs get the leftovers. They may occationally get a higher oxylate diet but then they are not used as feeders for several days following.
