Is anyone using grape vine leaves as part of their gutload?
Grape leaves are high in calcium, nearly Ca : P = 4:1 So I want to incorporate into my gutload (either fresh or dry).
So far, I find roaches and stick insects are agreeable to eating some, but crickets less so. Considering gently steaming the leaves, or alternatively dehydrating and crumbling. Have not yet attempted to feed any to silkworms or superworms, though maybe this weekend I will.
Curious to know how others may be using grape leaves, and what if any method is working best.
thanks
