Bamboo Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Do Rhino Roaches eat other leaves other than Eucalyptus ? Do they eat anything else other than leaves, ie. veggies/fruits , dried dog/cat food ? If all they eat is Eucalyptus then I'll have to order them online by the lbs...

RomanBuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 They can eat like normal roaches if I recall hearing that right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I know hard wood leaves are a good supplement to those leaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Be careful in your choice of eucalyptus because I've heard that the wrong species can kill your roach. I believe any hardwood leaf is fine for these guys. I'll have to try to find that article again...once I find it I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Some european breeders use oak leaves and it apparently works about as good as eucalyptus leave. If not, better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yea use oak or some other hardwood leaf, they are much easier to get, and are much more safe to feed your roaches. They will also eat dog food and fruits and veggies, but they may need dead leaves to grow properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 What are your views on offering rotting wood for Rhino Roaches ? Do I need to do anything before I offer it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Rotten wood is not necessary in this species diet, but it couldn't hurt. You should heat treat the wood first, to get rid of any pests that may be hiding inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Okay I think I'll avoid feeding it to the Rhinos and give it to my discoides and Dubia colonies instead , lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
