Roach Chow - Yes or No?

[nocontextlizard]

Hello all,

I just ordered some water crystals for my dubia roaches and it came with this roach chow. Do you think it is healthy to feed them or I should just stick with fruits and veggies? Thanks!

I feed that and fresh veggies or roach food --- not sure what the difference is between the chow and the food

Does it tell the percentages? If it is high protein i wouldn't give it to roaches i planned to feed. If it doesn't tell the percentages i just wouldn't use it. Giving high protein food to roaches your going to feed can contribute to gout. They convert it to uric acid and store it the way mammals do fat. You literally have to starve it back out of them to lower the ua levels. It's much safer to just feed them the leftover greens.
