Stickytoe Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Thought I'd share some results I've had with the Repashy superfoods brand gecko diets (for Rhacodactylus geckos). I breed geckos so I have a lot of extra food laying around. I feed my collection of B. dubia (Guyana orange spots), T. petriveriana (Dominos) , E. decipiens(Costa Rican Zebra), and B. lateralis (Turkistan roach) this diet as a staple in addition to oak leaves, fruits, and veggies. The nutritional content in these diets is outstanding and it also makes a great gutload as well for the feeder type roaches. _________________________ Nicole Chaney www.stickytoegecko.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsc Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I figured they would. I've been saying I was going to try them out on my roaches for some time now! I bet they go nuts for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crittergu Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Would the calcium content affect the roaches at all though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Driggers Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Would the calcium content affect the roaches at all though? I would think it might make their exoskeletona little more brittle than normal. I know with crickets too much calcium will make them a little more brittle than normal. Roaches shouldn't be much different. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crittergu Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I heard that if crickets are kept on a gutloading diet for too long they will die though, due to calcium overdose. This doesn't happen if they have other things to eat as they will then stop eating the gutload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
