    That milk causing calcium deficiency intrigues me, I have to do more research on that. Nonetheless, I do not grind my food up like many people do, I let my roaches pick what they need.
    Anyways, I know for a fact that higher protein amounts do not slow production, they actually increase them. I need to dig up the study that I read on that recently. I do not give my roaches a high protein diet however, as it's not protein that frogs need, it's the vitamins from the fruits and veggies that they obviously do not hunt.

    Too much fat and protein can cause cornial lipidosis which can lead to blindness.

    Just imagine if this were true for humans. Americans especially.

    Dairy products can cause health problems worse if not equivalent to blindness in humans, and that is cancer. It is also a huge cause of obesity. Especially low fat and skim milk. In fact, whole milk is healthier than skim or low fat milk. 90 percent of foods labeled as low fat or less fat actually have equal to or less benefits as foods labeled without. Example(milk) Low fat labels are a way to better sale products to us. For huge corps to make money. Same as vitamins and supplements sold in stores like GNC, can cause deficiency’s in the vitamin we are taking them for. Which is why I do agree with herpguy to an extent . But not all brands and products do this. What I am trying to get at with this post is mammals drink milk. Not insects or amphibs. And only we drink milk from another species. It is not natural and should not be used. I will say I love cheese and yogurt and other dairy products and I take a risk consuming these products knowingly. I know this just as a smoker knows that smoking is harmful and does it anyways.
    Some roach species require more protein than other’s this is certain. But as far as B. dubia they do not require protein here are the links to some threads about this discussion. http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeders-live-frozen-culturing-etc/22070-dubia-roach-protein-theory-something-every-dubia-breeder-should-know.html The conclusion thread is http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...tml#post176851. This thread is about B. dubia not any other species.

    Something I am considering since my wife can't handle feeding live food.


    I do believe OP is looking for alternatives to live feeding, which doesn't leave too many viable options.

    Tong feeding f/t dubia could work, earthworms are not as "nasty" to some people as well.

    I don't know enough about silversides to make an informative comment unfortunately.
