[QUOTE="JoeCapricorn, post: 127409, member: 3457"] Well, the stuff I have indeed contains calcium. It also contains phosphorus, fiber, fat and salt. My main goal was a protein supplement for the mantises AND crickets. Before, the crickets just nom'd spring mix which does not contain a lot of protein but DOES contain vitamins. Calcium won't harm the mantises and if they do utilize it, they are getting plenty. The fiber may aid digestion as it does in vertebrates, and would be supplied in a natural diet anyway and may be supplied by the spring mix I feed the crix as well. Secondly this gut-load is being fed to my roaches. I tend to be nervous in trying new stuff with them, since that may have been what killed Shadow last fall - I fed him so much different stuff, including bread, meatballs from a meatball sandwich, Cheez-Its and the Orange Cube cricket diet. But it could've been none of that. All of my roaches are doing well except for Yog-sothoth who died. [/QUOTE]
