[0mega9401]

well scarlet and akuma "the baby" wont eat still! i put them both on a schedule and ive tried everything! so now im looking into force feeding..... what r the pros and cons and all that. i really didnt want it to be like this but if they wont eat i have to make them eat.

""the only thing ither of them show interest in is roaches. and my colony isnt done growing at all and akuma cant eat roaches hes to small"

I live in australia and the breeder whom i bought my 6 week old baby beardie has been feeding his clutch of 10, small woodies since day 1 plus salads.

Woodies are roaches

All 10 of his clutch poop regularly and he said he has been woodie feeding all his clutches without problems.

The shell of baby cockroaches are softer than those of the chitin of worms, which i have read over n over not to give to babies due to impaction, but never read anything about appropriate sized roaches causing impaction.

I'm not sure if we can simply replace roaches and crix for the longterm but for the first 6 weeks of my babis life it was on a woodie diet.

if you feed the small nymphs( 1/4"-1/2" ) akuma will be fine. With that said, what type roaches do you have?
