anyone ever tried beardie pellets to use as roach food????? do you think that would work as well as dof forrd or whatever else has been used.

BD pellets are great, better than dog food. You can also use greens and fruits

yeah i figured it would be ok since it is a formula meant for bds, and if the roachs are eating it then technically the bd's are too!!lol thanks alot

great page btw beardiedragon

Thanks. I do roaches to and they are great because you can feed them most anything. You can raise the colony on less expensive foods and gut load them before feeding. Gutloading roaches is more effective than gutloading crix since their stomachs are so small.
