crepsis Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I have Zupreem monkey biscuits around for my parrot, and I have been feeding it to my crickets, so I know they'll eat it...the protien content is 20%, 5% fat, 2.5% fiber...and loads of vitamins and minerals. Since it's meant for omnivores (primates) it has decent ingredients...would that protein content be too low to feed as a staple, at least for a while? Has anybody ever fed that exclusively for a while and noticed any differences in their colonies at all? I don't have any roaches yet, but am planning on starting a B. craniifer colony.

Allpet Roaches Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I remember some keepers and zoos using monkey biscuits as a primary diet decades ago. I imagine it might even be better than dog food for some species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crepsis Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Awesome! I had never heard that before, good to know, thanks! Monkey biscuits are about the same protein content of dog food anyway, from what I've researched. Zupreem monkey chow is like $2.50 here, per gallon ziplock bag, from the local pet store!
