Allpet Roaches Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You'd have to spend some time to peal them and leach out the tannins, seems like too much work for a limited return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Is that why certain Weevil grubs only eat the inside of the acorn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That's why most animals won't eat them, the weevil grubs are specially adapted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
