No problem = ) Debbie and Dexter are awesome folks. I've seen a couple other tables that yielded similar overall results: High protein and low fat is a common trend with all roach species, they tend to only vary slightly. It's strange, there really isn't a significant difference between the species or even between genus - whereas common larvae and cricket species can vary quite significantly.

And I assume your talking about Madagacar Hissing Roaches - I use em as feeders lol. The nymphs make great feeders, although I don't own anything large enough that I would want to feed an adult male to. They do climb glass... but they are relatively prolific breeders surprisingly in my opinion. I just feed off nymphs and cull occasional adults when the colony gets a little out of hand.
