Bone meal?

[justjumpit621]

Does anyone know if I can give my feeder roaches human grade bone meal calcium supplement? It's a powder.

Normally one doesnt feed calcium powders directly to the feeders.
Further, bone meal usually contains phosphorus - which you do not want. May also contain preformed Vitamin A and D, which I wouldnt want to gutload with

I'm digging wayyy back in my brain here, but i think I remember reading years ago bone meal was often used in plants/gardening for some reason?? I could be wrong, but worth a google - chams & plants go hand in hand.

Its still used in gardening...promotes strong root growth. Blood bone meal is also used as a squirrel repellant.
