BugmanPrice Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 They tend to bury a lot, so I haven’t used them successfully. I mostly have tarantulas and some other predatory inverts so maybe for a reptile or something like that they would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharma Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Week or excessive ones I feed to my bearded lizzards and they love them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEsSiCaTa_UK Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the replies, i was holding one the other day when i was sure it made a defensive smell, so i wasnt sure if it was harmful or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharma Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 It's not harmful but it might be not that tasty for some animals, just check it out ! There is no cockroach to my knowledge which is 'toxic' (male hissers could injure the mouth of a predator with sharp pronotum splinters but that's all). My bearded dragons eat nearly any sort of animal, no matter how ugly the devensive secretion smells to me whereas my dogs prefere the non-smelling roaches/insects/spiders/rodents (yesss... on of my yorkies would kill for hissing cockroaches and mice, likes crunchy bugs and Tegenaria atrica -> a real dog knows what 'fresh food' means ).

Matt K Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Can these be used as feeders? I use excess of any roach species as feeders for tarantulas, lizards, etc. Some hide forever before being consumed and some dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
