Yes, I give my roaches human food... I'm only stopping because I believe its contributing to a slight smell. Prey is not gut loaded in the wild..while it doesn't hurt to feed them what you think is healthy, I'm fairly certain I could feed mine pure fruity pebbles and not have any issues. I've never had a tarantula die stuck in a molt, or from any other issues that might be caused by diet. I've also heard stories of roaches drowning in water dishes..I have yet to see that as well. Maybe if they wash the pizza down with water, its ok...</blockquote>
