Sweet chunks for Cockroaches :-P

[Xenoblatta 56]

Hello friends,

Cockroaches love sweet... I feed all of my colonies very often with homemade sweet croquette... and I really recommend it 😉

I try all the time with new ingredients, but the base of my recipe is:

-Chicken feed // Cat food (I pass the cat food through the blender to get a powder 🙂)
-Pollen
-Soy Milk in powder
-Honey (...A lot, but not enough to make the texture 'sticky')
-Eggs (with the honey works very well as a binder)

Mix it all while you cook over low heat until you get the texture you want. But be careful!!! Sticky texture is very dangerous for tiny cockroaches.

Then I use to use an ice mold to prepare the portions and then keep it in the fridge (...let them reach room temperature before offering to your roaches 😉 )

I use to add something different every time to the mixture... like powder milk, dry grapes (or other dry fruits), meat (already cooked without seasoning)... etc.

Tasty!! 🤤

Wow, thats pretty cool. Are the croquette's real crumbly, or do they hold up reasonably well? 

 

Thanks,
