Cricket chow / roach chow

[sbattisti]

Will crickets each roach chow?

I have some of the latter, and need to buy some of the former to keep my soon-to-be-new-beardie fed until the roach colony takes off.

When I had crickets, both they and my roaches at the same food. MY food is ground up Whiskas high protein cat food + some mixed in vitamins and calcium, that's it. They Love it, I never had many crickets die, and to this day I have had almost zero roaches die, and both seem to love it.

question -- why grind it up? why not just have cat food, and possibly some multivitamin sprinkled throughout?

plus possibly fruits and veggies?

I'm not sure about crickets but roaches have a hard time eating straight cat food, it's to hard for them to eat it. I originally tried to feed them whole cat food and it went untouched for weeks.

Sure i just use kitten food, not cat food the kitten food is higher in protein and tropical fish flake and oatmeal. No particular quantity of each just put some of each into a coffee grinder, that I got for $3 at a goodwill, and grind it up real fine.

I do the same thing minus the fish food.
may try it for kicks tho.
