So just a short question here. About 2-3 weeks ago i got my first ever tarantula (GBB, Female 7cm) and she has been great, she started to web a lot and its amazing to watch her, but i'm not here for her but for her feeders. To feed her i ordered around 40 Blatta Lateralis roaches (I know its too much but because of the Corona situation i had no other buyer to buy from and he was selling 40 minimum as i live in Croatia where the hobby isn't widely spread). So for the past 3 weeks i have been feeding them Banana's,Carrots and Oranges but i read on some places that they require protein, and that dog food is a good source for that. But on the other hand i heard that too much protein in roaches can harm a tarantula? I don't know which is true and there is a lot of misinformation on the internet so i'd like some advice from experienced keepers, what should i feed my colony to keep them alive and healthy during this pandemic? I am a dog owner so dog food and vegetables are all an option for me. I know that there is roach food in the petshop's but everything is closed now because of the virus.
