Dusting Dilemma!

[lthrbecks]

Hi Folks

I am just wondering if this problem can be resolved easily!

I'm feeding Figaro roaches from a feeder cup. The only problem is that the six or so roaches are constantly climbing on top of each other. With the result, the calcium dust, is being inadvertently scraped off them all!

I let the grasshoppers loose, should I do the same with the roaches. He's got used to the feeder cup though.

Any advice you can give me on the above matter, would be most welcome.

Thanks

A couple of options:

1) Use one or two roaches at a time, rather than 6. That might mitigate the problem.
2) Hand feed the roaches.
3) Use a little extra dust (so long as it’s just calcium)

Thanks for the reply bud.

Hand feeding isn't an option... Yet!
To be honest he's eating around 5 hoppers covered in calcium everyday that's probably more than necessary!
