madagascar hisser lover Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 okay thanks MrCrackerpants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 okay thanks MrCrackerpants No problem. Dry Puppy chow has more protein that dry adult dog food. I have used both and never noticed an issue with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 My hissers love wet cat food and fish food flakes too, which have quite a bit of protein in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierre72 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks you all I've used dry dog/cat food as well and used a food processor to grind it up so they can chew it. Plus tropical fish flakes have all the nutritional needs for crickets. Since roaches are closely related, I give the flakes to my German.

Thomas Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Random interjection: last night I was feeding my snakes and ended up with an extra mouse (dead, I might add) and decided to put it in with my hissers. This morning not was gone aside from a few fur clumps and what looks like the skull. Such fascinatingly flexible creatures these are.

pannaking22 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I've noticed that I get mold if I use fish flakes, so I tend to just use dry cat/dog food. The fish flakes work fine though if you don't have a substrate. I'm just waiting for my isopods to get going though and then I can just have them share the enclosure and take care of clean up and mold control. Collembola seem to work well too.

RomanBuck Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bearded dragon pellets with those dried mealworms and crickets. All of my roaches go crazy for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiManSam Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I have my own formula for my Dubias, the key ingredient is Spirulina (Blue Green Algae) its about 60% protein, Digestible protein, not all proteins are. since it is a single cell organism its easily metabolize. its can easily be added to your current diet.
