lovebugfarm Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 My wife works at a tea house so I have access to used whole leave tea. My question is does caffine have adverse effects. For instance if I used a cup or two a day in my big colonys. Would they eat it dry in the case of pepper roaches that like leaves? Also I tried to search the forum for the word tea but it says you cant search words less then 4 letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebbewocky Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I give mine coffee grounds sometimes. So, if coffee grounds are fine I can't see tea leaves being an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Mine dubia don't seem to like coffee grounds, but it doesn't seem to hurt them. Makes their enclosure smell a bit bettter too... I'm more concerned with pH changes due to coffee than the caffeine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah as far as I can tell it seems most animals dont like to eat them in mass except earthworms. I guess if coffee doesnt hurt them its silly to worry about tea. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
