food favorites

[Vonnie]

I have yet to see my flathorn hissers chow down on anything I put in their enclosure. Has anyone found a favorite food item they enjoy?

Guaranteed they are eating... I have found hissers really like carrots and grapes. It's a trial and error type thing as every roach has different prefferences

Better them than grain mites.

 

[Salmonsaladsandwich]

Yeah. That's not how she would've wanted it.

Edible flowers (nasturiums, pansies, dandilions) and sweet potato peelings seem to be my colonies favs.

They LOVE carrots

Make sure to get carrots and chop them up into little bits so its easier for them to eat.

Another thing you can do is ground up some dog food and they like that too.

If you can find a plantain (banana thing) my roaches really like that and would eat into it and sit in it

also, be careful when giving them iceberg lettuce, as it has no nutritional values. If you wanted to give them some, make sure you give them other food along with it.

My roach loves strawberry with honey on it. I probably wasted way too many strawberries on him lol.

I'm also a Minnesotan! We have a MinnVerts group that meets in The Twin Cities area 4-6 times a year if any of you are interested.

I feed carrots. I fed them cucumbers yesterday, but my G.oblongonota didn't like it.
