TheInv4sion Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I went in my backyard to gather some leaf litter for enclosures and wanted to consult people to confirm it is safe. I took some pics of the leaves in question. Also is Ivy okay to use? The leaves are rather large and I feel would look nice in a tank. https://imgur.com/a/Yc3zz0B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislas Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Look like a kind of holly. I know you can make tea from young leaves and the leaves are supposed to be non-toxic for humans... but how that will work out for roaches? I have no idea. I wouldn't try it unless someone here has positive experience with these, or if you are willing to subject you roaches to an experiment. In the latter case, keep us updated. And I would put by bet on 'they will be fine'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
