Hell all I have been feeding my bearded dragons on lobster roaches for some time now and have been recommending others do as well. I am wondering if anyone has any factual data as to their nutritional value. Things such as Ca ratio % of fat, protein, etc. Thanks in advance

Yours is a fair question except that an answer would be useless without an equally detailed analysis of what the exact requirements of the predator are. What are the % fat, protein, vitamin requirements, fiber, etc. for a bearded?

That being said, numerous long time breeders swear by live bearing roaches (blaberids) for health, growth and breeding of various insectivores. The proof is in the pudding.
