Feeding and ordering food

[leosbybam]

Does anyone feed their tegus frozen roaches?Thawed of course..I was looking at fauna and seen an ad for frozen roaches,if anyone has input that would be great...On another note anyone live in northeast Pa and what to do a group order from hare?

I never did, but don't see a problem with it. Why don't you just start a colony and feed live?

Thanks james for the response.I do have a large colony of dubia but I am curious if anyone has tried to feed the frozen roaches.

I was wondering the same. Really want to feed roaches but my husband doesn't want a roach colony in the house. Do you have a link to a place that sells them? Frozen insects seem to be hard to come by.

Frozen roaches??? Talk about not triggering a violent feeding response! Hahahahahaha!

Don't know about frozen but zoomed or one of them companies has canned crickets, silk worms and stuff. Actually it's Exo Terra and Jurassi Pet,.. just googled it . I used the exo terra canned insects back when I had Spaz and she loved the snails and black crickets, just the black ones Idk why. She'd eat the brown ones too but not as many or as often.

Personally I'd much rather feed live insects, however, that is proving to be a problem lately. Crickets are too small and he hates super-worms. I also can't get him into a feeding bin or the bath tub without an apocalyptic meltdown. He'll just frantically try to escape and nothing will convince him to eat until he is removed. I always fed him in a bin as a baby - so no idea how he got so terrified of it.

I occasionally give him waxworm moths - which he loves to hunt down. I don't see the point of denying him hunting as he seems perfectly capable of distinguishing hands from prey. I am worried about the percentage of animal proteins in his diet so I'd like to introduce more insects but between the bin problem and my husband not wanting the roach colony I'm not sure what my options are.
