dubia roach + protein theory something every dubia breeder should know

[demon amphibians]

Part 2
Say Jeff and i are wrong and the dubia needs a protein source from food such as grain and what not. I mean after all we gather this information through broken, inconclusive sources. Hince the reason why I labeled this a theory. But mathematics can also provide how little amount of protein is need to be sufficient for these insects in the slightest case we are wrong.
1.Say a roach weighs a gram.(which is the weight of a paper clip) They can weigh more and can weigh less but we will stick with a gram as an example.
2. A person weighing 100 lbs requires at least 1 gram of protein to sustain proper growth. Which is 100 grams of protein a day. With this a person will weigh 45359 times as much as the roach.
3. We already know a roach has a much stronger digestive system then us. For this example we will say 10 times better. But we all now it is much better then that if they can digest wood. The 1 gram roach will require .00022046 grams protein a day.
4. A head of romaine lettuce has 7.7 grams protein. With these numbers it can proved enough protein for nearly 35,000 roaches for one day.
lets take in to account how many veggies have more protein then romaine lettuce the numbers will blow your mind (and mine as well)

This is an under exaggeration i am just using these numbers as an example. But it will be in this ballpark range that is for certain.
suppose you have a colony of 1000 roaches. veggies provide more then enough protein for an insect so small even if it requires protein at all.
