windward Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I uncovered a couple old (passed best by date) bags of dried bananas and plantains in the cabinet. Boths are lightly salted. Would that salt be a bad idea or not terribly significant? Mainly they would end up in with the orange heads. I would prefer something eat them, I certainly won't - there's few common foods nastier than bananas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't think don't know how that much salt might affect them. If it was overripe fresh bananas then I would say yes they love those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windward Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 There's some salt already in the foods I use in their food mix - the chick starter and cat food has some, fish flakes and alfalfa has small amounts towards the bottom of the ingredient list. It's probably not a big deal, since some people toss in all sorts of things that have more salt. I was simply considering grinding it up and adding it into their food at some feeding times to give their food some variety. I like to grind stuff up, btw, because the 1-2 instar nymphs seem to eat well that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
