Description
To some people, nothing sounds less pleasant than having a colony of cockroaches scurrying about their house, even in an enclosed container. Yet these insects, notes author Casey Watkins, are an excellent source of nutrition for several different types of pets, reptiles, and fish. The eBook "Dubia Roaches: Starting a Feeder Colony" contains comprehensive information on growing your own pet food rather than having to drive to a pet store every few weeks. The text lists several advantages of these insects, including a good source of nutrition and an easy breeding schedule, that make them great to farm for your pet. For those who can overcome any cases of willies, they can find all the information they require on these insect feeders.
Since you want your pets to have good nutrition, you will need to feed the insects they consume for lunch and dinner with good nutrition as well. The author lays out different foods that can be fed to Dubia roaches in order for them to grow strong and tasty (for reptiles, that is). Since these bugs roam the floors of tropical jungles, they like fruit that has fallen from the canopy and will relish any sweet fruits that they come across. Supplement their diet with a protein source so that the protein can be passed on to your pet reptile. Remember that the more different types of nutrients and minerals that they eat, the more your pet's health improves.
Keeping roaches within an enclosure is crucial since nobody wants them to escape and run free through your house. Luckily, the author notes, these insects cannot climb up a smooth surface. A simple plastic tub with steep sides will suffice for their care. Their housing can be quite minimal, notes the text, on account of the fact that they prefer the dark and the only decor that will improve their health and breeding is a place to hide. Insects are no different than any other animal and do need air, so ensure that they have an air source. Since thes
