I heard coconut was bad so I stopped using it, apparantly coconut oil in the coconut acts as a natural pesticide. People eat it to detox their body of all kinds of stuff including parasites and toxins. So I dont reccomend coconut. I feed mine a dry mix of ground up low protein dog food, dried and powdered white bread, ground up vitamin rich cereals, ground up oatmeal, and a few fish flakes. They also get fruits and veg weekly. They like dried fruit as a treat too, I just pick out the coconut. Hope this helps u. Subscribe to my youtube : http://www.youtube.com/user/tiffsbugsandmore
