Jess565 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hi guys, a newbie here Anyways... my roaches had been going off their food for a few months now, so i have been a little experimental with feeding, which is why I filled a shallow dish in their tank with smoothie! And they loved it! ive never seen them so excited and eat so much! they have really picked up, i won't use this as their main food but as a treat once a week or so. I can't imagin this is bad for them? any suggestions? At the moment ive only two types of roaches, Hissers and giant caves, both really enjoyed the liquified treat!

Roaches can eat just about anything humans can eat. If it contains fruit it may double as a treat for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachsmith Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That's cool. I'll have to try that. My hissers and dubias love fruit. I bet if I made them an orange bananna smoothie they would go nuts for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I tried some Inta Juice smoothie for my B. dubia... had some of the colony die and others "off" in the next few days. Just sharing my experience on a relevant thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre72 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I feed my Germans tropical fish flakes 'cause a pet shop boy said they have all the nutrients crickets need and they're closely related. My Germans and the Discoid I had years back do good with them. Fruit is a good idea too, particularly apples. Apples seem to be a favorite probably due to the water content. Someone told me lemon and lime aren't good for them though. I like your smoothie story. Cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
