Whenever I add them, they're always the last thing eaten. It might be because they're so hard; I never soak mine. You could try using soaked ones.

I suppliment my roach mix with rodent food. I raise rodents on a large scale and in the bottom of every 50lb bag there is a fair amount of crumbs and food-dust. I mix it in with my roach food and they seem to eat it well enough. Its a fine powder so its quite easy for them to eat, as opposed to large hard blocks.

even non soaked,they will be eaten right?.will the nymphs be able to bite though that?

Small nymphs have difficulty eating hard food. Could you grind the rodent blocks somehow? It works with dogfood.

sure,what do you think is the best and EASIEST way to grind something as hard as rodent blocks?.or even some dog foods for that matter.

My experience is the same as Zephyr's. They'll eat them, if there is nothing else left.
