Tilapia as a food staple?

[GrifTheGreat]

I can tong feed him but its tough to do with worms, and I think he's bored with them. Same thing with crickets. I want to order that samurai stuff. I emailed them, but does anyone know much about the stuff? I was told they had a ebay store, but can't find it. Anyone have experience with these guys?

I ordered it straight from the company. They were out of town and as soon as they returned they shipped it. The Pacman food is supposed to have everything they need but I only use it as a treat. Its main base is fish meal so its not bad for them. Lots of nutrients. Loki became kind of bloated from it when I fed it to him 2 nights in a row. So I don't give it very often. Thereis a label with all the ingredients that it contains on the front of the package. It has a farely strong smell to it due to the fish meal. If you poisoned your frog from somethig he ate he would have more than likely died by now. If its poison and they eat it they usually die. You have to make sure the worms you buy don't contain toxins or dyes. Wal-Mart or Pet stores are your best bet for worms. Do not buy from bait shops unless you have a way of knowing for sure they don't contain dyes or toxic soil.

I just got an email back from Yusuke, and apparently they have been using this food for 12+ years! Thought that was pretty interesting stuff. That makes me feel better that I'm not making my frog into an experiment, ordering tonight!

Yes but they aren't the normal everyday cockroach pests.

Nope. Look at the feeder and culturing section of the forum. Should be some info on them. The main one is called Dubia Cockroaches.

Im not sure who started the thread originally, but I started a thread a few months about my success with feeding strictly frozen thawed talapia meat with worms and mice once or twice a month.

I now recommend against feeding talapia all together. They do not seem to digest the fish meat properly. I fed talapia for 6-7 months straight, my frogs loved it and wud eat their fill but I noticed them not digesting it properly and getting rather fat. Talapia works don't get me wrong but I would not recommend it, this is coming from someone that fed 14 african bull frogs for 6-7 months of their life mostly talapia
