Shaneofall Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Anyone notice flat horns eating less than others or having different heat requirements? I am growing some out alongside (same type of bin/ heat) as some wide horns. The wide horns are eating 5 times or my the qty of food. I am mixing 6 grains with a few other powder supplements including bee polin. Also notice the lack of eating when I add a banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My flat horns eat like pigs. Even more than the wide horns I'd say. I find myself refilling their bowl more often than any other species of hisser I keep. I feed mine carrots, apple, cucumber, grains, and occasionally mulberry leaves. Currently, my temps are about 78-84 F on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcep Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I feed them exactly like regular hissers: dog food, carrot, water. They eat and breed well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneofall Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I will have to look at them in more detail. The wide horns as a group are much bigger and maybe they just started out a bit older/larger, just enough to get ahead start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneofall Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I actually stopped using dog food as my feeder roaches get a better quality food, so figured I will do the same for the high-end roaches. I tried soy protein in the mix and they don't like much, so now whey protein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have a pair that seems to eat very well. I toss a carrot in there and it's gone within a week. They enjoy oats and dog food as well and don't typically leave very much. Still waiting on the female to give birth (I think she's gravid?) but that's a thread for another day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have a flat horn with my regular hissers and she seems to love heat a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpack Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I just got some flat horns. I hope in the future to have wide horns and the other species of hissers that I do not have yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
