Just thought I would share, I find this kind stuff really cool and interesting to do.

I started feeding my roaches mielies, I been feeding them tin mielies and frozen mielies.
The other night my mom gave us some mielies that she bought on the side of the road.
So I cooked them and decided to go stick one with the roaches and see what happens.

They clean all the milies off the stalk.


Very interesting, and then have also started feeding my roaches gem half's, seeds removed!
Interesting with regards to the gems, is that they eat the out side skin.
And some times they will eat the whole gem Half.


So here some pictures attached.

Have you tried uncooked mielies?

What kind of roaches are they?

Those look like Blaptica Dubia (Orange Spotted) roaches Marius.

I have started feeding my roaches Tomatoes. Not slices, the whole tomato, green or red, come back the next morning and it's completely gone. No pips/seeds, no skin nothing. They seem to flipping love it.

looks like Blaptica Dubia

No that one thing I have not tried, they like pop corn as well.

Both HS and iclazion are correct.

But I feed all my roaches on mielies.
