[QUOTE="hdochow, post: 2021778, member: 110661"] i'll toss some info into your discussion just for the heck of it. all personal experience based. sir henry lives on dubias. they do not get fed protein, just his leftover salads, outside the rare day a couple times a year he eats the entire thing. tori makes him HUGE salads! so i don't think that really counts as them having a protein diet. we do not breed the roaches, do anything as far as temps, humidity, etc. yet we have ones in the bin that are way too small at this point to have been ones we purchased. maybe our conditions are "just right"? when they get too big and he refuses them, they get fed to the wild geese in the back yard. they love them! and hey, SOMEONE out there is eating them. totally as a preventative for liver health/gout prevention he gets black cherry powder (in water) from tracie's website 4 times a week. he refuses to eat anything that is powder, so we use that as a way to get his liquid vitamins and calcium in. great for hydration too. also, a couple times a year, when it seems he is tired of the dubias, we'll get a round of mealworms/superworms/and silkworms. like 50 silks and 100 each of the other two. those will be fed off entirely before we go back to the dubias. he's currently in the worm cycle right now. his vet is of the opinion that the issue with dubias is more what they are fed as opposed to what the roach bodies do naturally. he did say that more needs to be studied on the topic in general, and what he has seen info wise is mostly from the community like us instead of the science community, but for now he totally approves of the above feeding schedule. both sir henry and taela the parakeet have their annual check up next week so i'll see if his opinion has changed at all from last year. from what i can tell, there isn't a problem. no joint swelling, slow moving, seeming to be in pain, etc. [/QUOTE]
