First time ordering egg carton/fillers for roaches

[Mad About Cichlids]

Place an order for 70 egg cartons/fillers for $26 last Sunday and package arrived by Thursday, which is pretty fast IMO. No more having to buy boxes of eggs from Sam's Club just to get a few egg cartons

Girlfriend was kinda upset at first on how I spent $26 on something for roaches but she's cool now knowing that with the extra egg cartons I can afford to change them out more often.

Decided to take a few pix

Their main foods, I throw in a sliced orange or apple couple times a week.

You breed them to feed? You should show some feeding pics if you got any.

Are they able to eat whole carrots like that? I use a carrot grater to make the pieces smaller for mine.

They would eat your finger if you'd sit still long enough. I think they can handle whole carrots.

I just fill my roach bin full of cardboard... I don't see why people use egg cartons. Just pull a piece of cardboard, grab the size you need, chuck the cardboard back into the cage.

Not a fan of using carrots... seem to cause gangrene in some of my lizards for some reason. Any other vegetable is fine... just not carrots.

I do have a few feeding videos on Youtube, just look up my username MadAboutCichlids.

They can down couple of whole carrots in a day or two. As you can see I don't grind up the dry cat food either, some do though.

That reminds me, I have been bitten by a few before, doesn't hurt but just weird

Egg cartons gives you the most surface area for it's size

This is actually my first time ever hearing the word gangrene so as you can guess I have never heard of anyone discussing it before, very interesting though.

Maybe ur herps have diabeetis or something. I doubt they are catching it from eating roaches who are eating carrots. That's kind of a stretch.
