I use normal unflavored oatmeal primarily and sometimes carrots or some sort of vegetable. The substrate for my colony is oatmeal they always have food.

I had oatmeal to.. just wanted to put some fluids.. I noticed that lateralis love carrots..

Hello
Oats or oatmeal makes excellent substrate,and as for fluids I use oranges primarily sometimes apples etc but oranges nr 1.

I believe it was Martin that suggested I use oatmeal for my substrate. I went out and got 3 large containers of Quaker oatmeal and dumped it all in the 15 gallon tank.

 

[2G33K4U]

Oh i use 3 small bowls with water crystals for water and moisture.

Hello
I did suggest the oats or oatmeal,it really gutloads and of course instant safe substrate that doesn't need change since it's eaten up. We've used this with a lot of roaches,dubias Turkistan and lobsters as well.

Been working for me so far just waiting for all my female to get a bigger so the breeding starts. Then i will start using them for food instead of the stinky dangerous crickets.

That's what we're doing,Turkistan roaches tend to be best all rounders grow and multiply fast.

I read the packaging, or at least part of it since not all Japanese characters I can understand.. it mentions balance nutrients, vitamins, amino acids, complex sugar.. to name a few.. not so sure if it would do good on roaches..

 

[2G33K4U]

It can't hurt to try they will either love it or hate it.

I seldom feed crickets too.. especially the females.. I had a couple of enclosures filled with baby crickets after feeding my T's..

I agree with the oranges.. And i tried the oatmeal too when I read the thread mentioning about it..

 

[hellknite]

I'm gonna try it soon.. I asked my co worker to pick up a couple of bags and it will be arriving in two weeks time..
By the way, it's locally called Kabutomushi Jelly
