If it were, I'd know all about it. I feed my roach colonies a wide variety of produce and dog kibble.  Nothing wrong with cat kibble either, but dog food is cheaper and I have it on hand. When my colonies are at their fullest, right before a reptile show, they go through nearly a pound of dog food a day.</blockquote>
