Lobster Roaches: Nauphoeta cinerea

Advantages:

Quiet.
Odorless.
Fat Breeders.
Have trouble surviving if the escape in temperate climates.
Easy to feed.
High Nutritional value.
Do well on Dry Cat food/Dog food and once a week salad greens.
Cricket crystals provide water easily.
Sizes comparable to crickets.

Disadvantages:

Takes a few months to get good producing cultures going, but still faster than crickets.

They can climb anything, so a barrier substance like Vaseline or an off the shelf product is necessary.

If you live in a subtropical climate, do not use these.

Anyone have any nutritional information on loctus/grasshoppers? I noticed they were conspicuously missing from this chart: Caudata Culture Articles - Nutritional Values

Which was kind of frustrating because I have a lot of grasshoppers around my house and was wondering what a good companion to the crickets I already have would be. (I'm not sure how to breed earthworms/night crawlers and have had no success feeding them to my frogs in previous attempts, mainly because they're too big, they drown, and they apparently don't taste very good when chopped up)
