I have high protein dog food. Is this good to include in my roach show for red runners?

That's a good question. I've heard of folks using dog food for some of their roaches but I've never done it, myself.

Yep, dry dog food is my staple and I supplement with vegetables and oranges
Oh, I feed the same to my roaches

Let's just say I know why some dogs eat their own poo... It literally smells the same coming out as it did going in

Personally I use dry dog food for my roaches. I have Pallid, Dubia & two different species of giant. But I soak the dry food in boiling water for 5 minutes plus, first & then serve a few lumps on a small piece of tin foil as moist food.
The main food I feed is porridge, with some flaked fish food over it. Mine love flaked fish food, I then also give fresh fruit of veg too. Bananas I find go black & mushy too quickly. Cucumber turns to liquid, which makes a mess. But apples, oranges (minus the peel,) lettuce, cabbage, celery leaves & potatoes all get eaten & keep the alternate day check & top up easy.
