Roaches and Oranges

[BlueDevil]

Hi everyone!

Just had a couple of questions about feeding oranges to roaches. Is it best to always have a continual supply of oranges? (once the oranges are eaten remove and replace with fresh oranges) or is it best to feed them the oranges (remove once eaten) and wait a few days or a week and feed again? just wondering. Also has anyone try mixing orange juice with water crystals? just curious.

dont know about the oj and water crystals, but a constant supply of oranges is fine... either way the dubia prob will thrive as long as everything else is reasonably appropriate

I'm not so sure about oranges, though I could be wrong. A big roach breeder I know says that oranges decrease roach breeding. Ironically enough I found this to be the case myself. I feed my roaches butternut squash, water melon, cantelope, apples, bananas, and carrots.
