Is it ok to feed Dubia Lucky charms?

[Spikeshuman]

Thread title says it all. I have an excess of marshmallow cereal that my children will NOT eat. Is it ok to feed to the dubia? Before this I was feeding them the powder at the bottom of the dog food bag.

your dragon eats what the roaches eat so I wouldnt feed em that much sugar. Things like carrots, dog/cat food, orange slices sometimes, and greens

Maybe a very small amount. They would love it, but that just means they eat less nutrient-rich food and that means less nutrients for your Beardie.

I have been afraid of putting any fresh foods in there because I dont want them to rot / smell. For the dog food.. do I need to crush it.. or is putting it in there whole ok? Also.. cricket gut load would be ok too right?? I have tons of that left over.

I'd blend the food into a powder, its easier for them to eat that way. Cricket gut load should be fine also. And oranges are great for Dubia (like Dubia viagra! lol)

I would not feed them lucky charms. I wouldnt be at all surprised if it killed them.

They ate the marshmallows over night.. they didnt bother with the cereal. I removed the left over cereal.. it never did kill them.. but I think it may have given Spike some soft stools for a week. They have dog food, cricket chow.. and oranges now.
