Proper gutload?

[unkempt1]

I have a roach colony. One bin for breeding, and one for feeding. I gut load my feeder bin with things that are good for my dragon. Collard greens, turnip greens, etc. Is this also a good gut load for my frog? If not, should I get a separate feeder tub for my frog and, if so, gut load them with something else?

They should all be good for your frog too, offering a variety of food to your feeders is a good way to ensure they have a mix of vitamins and nutrients loaded into them. I've heard dubias love oranges, i know my roaches love green peppers, they seem to eat those up faster than anything else.

Yea I feed my breeder colony oranges, which they appreciate. They also like apples, carrots, and bananas. They really don't show much interest in green leafy things like turnip greens and prickly pears unless that is all the food they have access to.

I know people say they go nuts for oranges, but put a few mango peels in there (or the pit if you have a larger colony). They will DESTROY it, more so than oranges I have noticed.

Oops, got a little off topic there for a sec... I just really enjoy talking about my colony. Thanks for answering my question, makes me feel better that I don't have to go out and get another​ bin!

On a side note I just recently bought a thing of flukers orange cube cricket diet to try with them and my roaches don't seem to really care for it

Yea mine treat those just like green veggies. They only go after them when that's all that's in there. Now I just use them for crickets when I will be at work all day.

Just don't feed them dog or cat food. The additives can be bad for the frog.

Offer them oats too. They will eat those as well.

Lol! That's a familiar noise....Cheerios and apples...crunch, crunch, crunch .

Mine love oranges the most. Bananas too. Honestly, they are like garbage disposals and will eat just about anything, ha ha!

I know their food, but I even like to handle them occationally. They're pretty cool.
