If you recall from our other nutrition guides, you'll remember that the typical carnivorous reptile requires high protein (30-60%), high fat (40-70%), and a 2:1 calcium to phosophorus ratio. Madagascar hissing roaches have a large amount of protein, but they are short on the fat content. This means they are a very lean source of protein. But it also means they won't fulfill all of your pets nutritional needs. Superworms and BSFL offer the ideal amount of fat and protein. So it should be noted that either of these feeders will be a good supplemental snack to go along with the hissers.
Hisser roaches also have a poor calcium to phosophorus ratio. This means your pet won't get the proper amount of calcium. Hissers will definitely need to be dusted with calcium powder prior to being offered. Or, you can include BSFL as a supplemental food source, because they are the only feeder insect to offer the ideal amount of calcium.
Happy herping!

[post_content] => Hi all, I am hoping someone on this forum can help. We got a baby pacman frog about 3 months ago. She is somewhere around 8 months to a year old. At first, she was very hungry and ate almost daily. We fed her primarily crickets. Now it has been almost three weeks since she has eaten and she is looking very skinny. We've tried mealworms and crickets and feeding at different times of the day. Her temperature and humidity seem fine. We did move her location about a month ago (to a warmer room in our house) so we thought initially it might be stress. How can we get her to eat?!

[post_content] => Howdy, Fam!
Your beautiful pets love a diverse diet of buggies. And madagascar hissing roaches could be an optimal option, especially if you're caring for a larger reptile.
Here's a nutritional breakdown if you want to offer them on the menu:
protein: 64%
fat: 20%
calcium: 2.5 g/kg
phosphorus: 9.3 g/kg
If you recall from our other nutrition guides, you'll remember that the typical carnivorous reptile requires high protein (30-60%), high fat (40-70%), and a 2:1 calcium to phosophorus ratio. Madagascar hissing roaches have a large amount of protein, but they are short on the fat content. This means they are a very lean source of protein. But it also means they won't fulfill all of your pets nutritional needs. Superworms and BSFL offer the ideal amount of fat and protein. So it should be noted that either of these feeders will be a good supplemental snack to go along with the hissers.
Hisser roaches also have a poor calcium to phosophorus ratio. This means your pet won't get the proper amount of calcium. Hissers will definitely need to be dusted with calcium powder prior to being offered. Or, you can include BSFL as a supplemental food source, because they are the only feeder insect to offer the ideal amount of calcium.
