protein

[madagascar hisser lover]

Hey everyone. I was wondering what I can feed to my madagascar hissing roaches for extra protein. Kind regards madagascar hisser lover

okay thanks MrCrackerpants

No problem. Dry Puppy chow has more protein that dry adult dog food. I have used both and never noticed an issue with either.

My hissers love wet cat food and fish food flakes too, which have quite a bit of protein in them

Thanks you all

I've used dry dog/cat food as well and used a food processor to grind it up so they can chew it. Plus tropical fish flakes have all the nutritional needs for crickets. Since roaches are closely related, I give the flakes to my German.

Random interjection: last night I was feeding my snakes and ended up with an extra mouse (dead, I might add) and decided to put it in with my hissers. This morning not was gone aside from a few fur clumps and what looks like the skull. Such fascinatingly flexible creatures these are.

I've noticed that I get mold if I use fish flakes, so I tend to just use dry cat/dog food. The fish flakes work fine though if you don't have a substrate. I'm just waiting for my isopods to get going though and then I can just have them share the enclosure and take care of clean up and mold control. Collembola seem to work well too.

Bearded dragon pellets with those dried mealworms and crickets. All of my roaches go crazy for it!

I have my own formula for my Dubias, the key ingredient is Spirulina (Blue Green Algae) its about 60% protein, Digestible protein,

not all proteins are. since it is a single cell organism its easily metabolize. its can easily be added to your current diet.
