ok i got some hissers, they have some shredded carrots right now, but what kinda dog food should i give? i know the high in protein kind, but wet or dry? what kinds are the best, that don't have any harmful additives?

thanks,
Sam

Generally cat chow is higher in protein than dog chow. Use the dry type. It's a good idea to grind-up the chow to make it easier for the roaches to eat.

I use high quality dog food. Since I have a dog and cats, I steal from them. I use brand Authority Senior Dog Food and Iams Cat Food. I would avoid any brands that use red dye. Other brands considered high quality are Eukanuba, Science Diet, Nature's Recipe, etc.

You can use a coffe grinder to grind up the food you use into bite size chunks. The food I feed my orange spotted and discoid roaches are Authority senior dog food ground, rice baby cereal, ground oat meal, wheat germ, and ground fish food whole shrimp types. I also supplement with fruits and veges.
