So I thought this would be a fun thread. What unusual things have your roaches eaten? By this I mean things not on the typical menu. I'm forever trying new items and have had good success with:
Dole dried fruit snacks (100% fruit)
Hardboiled eggs (including the shell)
Almonds & walnuts
Canned haricot beans
Acorns*
Hibiscus flowers*
Wild dandelion flowers & greens*
Red clover, white clover & alsike clover (but not hop or trefoil clover)*
Fresh maple leaves (hissers go nuts for these)*
And finally... Nacho Cheese Doritos Loco Tacos (supreme) from Taco Bell. My lats got a whole taco last year for Christmas, and they went insane. Ate everything except the sour cream.
Things they won't eat: dried cranberries, tomatoes and kefir grains.
What interesting things have your roaches enjoyed?
* Obligatory warning: These items are sourced from my property, which is pesticide-free, herbicide-free, fertilizer-free and large enough to avoid run off from neighbors. Use great caution and wash thoroughly before feeding any wild items to roaches.
