Twitch8604 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Can you feed roaches egg shells? Have you feed roaches egg shells, and was it good,bad or indifferent? I've fed my dubias all kinds of veggies, fruits, roach chows. I'm just curious, i read that article on roachcrossing saying they are trying them as compost makers, so how about egg shells?

thesavageprojects Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 the calcium from the egg shells would be good for the roaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I heard nitrogen is important that is found in fresh spinach leaves and rose leaves. Also in bird droppings and bat hence why many roaches are in sewers and caves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
