[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 79850, member: 4086"] I've heard a few people say that, I'm not sure where ya'll are getting this from but it perplexes me. The very roaches themselves are extremely high protein... High protein dog food is used by many roach breeders, and has been for years. My colonies are thriving on blue buffalo dog food and carrots, mostly. Some apples occasionally, too. I've had zero issues with mine..That's dubia, lats, ivory heads, little kenyans, surinam roaches,and three species of hisser..and red goblins otw..my inverts for the most part don't have any issues at all. Deaths in my collection are rather rare, and my spiders and scorps are thriving. High protein food is fine, in my experience. You can feed them scraps from the dinner table if you want, it just makes for a stinky enclosure, so I only rarely treat mine to pizza or a leftover sandwich anymore. :D I'd like to hear someone else's thoughts on this though [USER=4652]@Hisserdude[/USER].
