Hi all, I like to grind up a good quality dog food for my roaches in addition to the roach food I buy. I have been using a regular coffee grinder to do this but it makes such a small amount at a time it takes forever. Does anyone use anything else to grind up dry dog food? I have looked everywhere and all the home style coffee grinders are tiny. I dont know what else would work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carole

any large blender designed for hard materials would work. You could also just pour the dogfood into a sturdy bin and use a metal rod and pound the dogfood into dust. A garpage pail with a hole cut into the lid (in center) big enough to allow a metal headed stick through (or even a sled hammer would work) this way you can pound the dogfood into powder wihtout worry about pieces flying out.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. My husband found an ancient manual grinder that came with a "bread crumber" attachment. It is manual (you crank it) but it works! And it produces it faster than the tiny coffee grinder. As an extra bonus I think it could be considered "exercise" when grinding it, hehe it aint easy to crank.

Thanks!
Carole
