[Thorin 0]

Hello,

I have a strange question for you!

you can, put oak's acorns as food, in terrariums of cockroaches?

for the rhino, hissing and others roaches?

let me know if it's possible ...

You'd have to spend some time to peal them and leach out the tannins, seems like too much work for a limited return.

Why should I peel the acorns, and leach out the tannins?

So you can use them as food.

Ok...but, the tannins are bad or good for the roaches?

Tannins are compounds made by plants to prevent insects from eating them.

Is that why certain Weevil grubs only eat the inside of the acorn?

That's why most animals won't eat them, the weevil grubs are specially adapted.
