Axolotl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey all. I currently make my own roach chow, but things are getting busy here with my business and the holidays so I'm looking for a reasonably priced commercial roach chow to fill in until I have time to DIY. Can anyone recommend a particular brand/seller? The bulk of my roaches need healthy maintenance diets, but I do have a few feeder species for my beardie so lower protein is preferred. I also supplement 3 times a week with fresh fruits and veggies (with greater variety given to the feeders - B.dubia, B.discoidalis, E. posticus). I saw this one on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Lugarti-Premium-Dubia-Diet-oz/dp/B01LOZ25UM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480871348&sr=8-3&keywords=roach+chow Has anyone tried this brand?

dcfarms Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 we use Dumor Starter/Grower chick feed non-medicated. Its soybean based, no meat. All of our species do well on it plus supplement with fresh veggies and fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axolotl Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hey you. That's a good idea. I can actually get that at the feed shop down the road ... and I can probably incorporate it into my homemade chow to replace the other more spendy ingredients that I have to grind up by hand. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebugfarm Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I agree chicken feed is a good option I breed rats and asfs and found my roaches love mazuri rat food it's like $30 for a 50 would bag so not super cheap but pretty good unless you're colonys are huge then it will be really pricy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick barta Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If you go to chameleon forums.com and look up my ad under the classifieds section-Feeders, "Gut loads and feeder supplies," you will see 2 Roach chows with the ingredients listed. The Wow Chow is made with 8 ingredients and is $10/pound. The Roach Bedding Chow is made with 3 ingredients and is $5/pound. CHEERS!
