I've been wanting to give them a little more variety in their diet, but because I live in Florida, I can't have roaches shipped to me (illegal apparently). So I've been trying to find some cockroaches at work and home to give to them, but everyplace is just too clean! (I'm a neat freak) I have a small potted vegetable garden growing outside and I keep a bag of organic soil on the patio. When I moved it today, one BIG roach and 5 little ones scurried out. I got so excited I immediately dropped to the floor and started catching them. The T's LOVED it. They jumped on them very quickly.
T's will love just about anything you put in the tank. Food is food. Although I would never bring food from outside in due to different pesticides and such.
