I might be on to something.

I believe they are more nutritionally valuable than crickets, especially if they are "gut loaded" in the same way. On land they would act like a fish out of water. Enough for the frog to get interested and eat, but a lot easier for them to catch than crickets at the same time. Im going to do some more research, then see about trying them with my young ornate Pacman.

If or when you try them use a small one first. Less risk incase for some reasons the shell won't digest properly.

I'm interested to see if this would work as well, although I can say I'd probably never do it myself. I can see with you not being able to get roaches this may be a exceptional substitute if they turn out to be healthy and actually have nutritional value to them. Other than that, just seems like kind of a hassle to raise compared to something like Dubias.

If I go ahead with it, I will do so cautiously and keep everyone updated. I think it may end up working out quite well.
