Vulgaris Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Apple is by far the favorite of my Parcoblatta roaches. Unfortunately the types of fruit I can get is limited here at college. I usually give them pieces of banana, pineapple, and cantaloupe from the cafeteria, but they dont consume it as readily as pieces of apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Apple, pear, grapes, green beans, and carrots are my roaches' favorites. Each colony/individual seems to have its preferences, so keep experimenting and find out what they like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 i usually feed apples, bananas and carrots with monkey biscuits to my roaches but i just tried clementines and my discoids when crazy over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOO CENTRE Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I usually use water gel for most of roaches,ripe fruits for banana roaches and fruits and vegetables for madagascan hissers. The best is mango - if I give it to hissers than they want to destroy their box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Wide Horn Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I use Organic Banana, Mango, And Apple baby Food And Rep Cal Juvenile Bearded Dragon Food It's the best! I have to buy the 3 pound bags lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sorry wrong thread, here's my suggestion my dubia are huge and healthy so I guess my diet for them is good. Favorite dubia foods are: fresh oranges, dog/cat kibble, bananas, apples, white bread (misted with water), iguana fruit pellets, romaine lettuce, and as a treat cooked hamburger meat. Mine also enjoy orange/ banana or turkey baby food in a shallow dish. I mist my colony lightly with a spray bottle and they drink the water droplets, the fresh fruit and veggie also provide extra liquids.

lonelyronin Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 My hissers go crazy over plum and pear - especially if a little rotten, and they don't really like carrot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
