Freeze dried fruit

[The Wolven]

Hey! Has anyone considered using freeze dried fruit for roaches. While you would obviously have to provide other means of hydration, it would cut down on some of the mess. Freeze dried fruits do retain most of their nutrients too! It's just a thought that came to mind so let me know what you guys think.

I suppose it would probably be ok. Although I wonder if roaches might benefit from consuming the bacteria and other microbes that colonize fresh fruit as it just starts to decompose in the 24-48 hour period it's in the enclosure. I don't really know though and it's probably not really that big of a difference. Personally I would probably stick to fresh fruit since you wouldn't have to thaw it out and it might be cheaper. But keep this thread updated on if you use them
