Hello
Has anyone used this product? My roaches (lobsters) don't seem to like the dry mix I offer them. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can feed them please let me know.
Thanks

hi there,

I haven't personally tried this stuff; I seem to have great success with my roaches, and my monitors in turn by just using healthy foods, in which the nutrients I then want to be passed on to my animals.. I feed various types of veggies, especially carrots-for betakerotene(pigment enhancer), along with high performance dog food(the same food I feed my greyhound). Mixed into all of this is a thorough mixing of minerall or crushed limestone(CaCO3) for calcium requirements. Like I said, my roaches do great off of my diet, and my monitor in turn thrive off of the animals they are eating...the food chain. I am not doubting the nutritional aspects of the gut load, but I find that the roaches also benefit from the moisture that vegetables contain..
