I am feeding it to the ones I just bought from someone here local until the good stuff I ordered online comes in...I hope it's ok to feed them. It says on the label it can be fed to feeders. I'm supplementing them with veggies too.

OK so i guess it should be fine if there's veggies as well...

It's just I have nearly a whole bottle of the stuff and I want to avoid large quantities of crickets in my house since they stink up rather quickly, even thought I clean out there box every 3 days and replenish food and water supply as well as take out the dead ones.

I don't plan on using it long term...just until the stuff I ordered comes in. Also...try putting a few fresh mint leaves in your crix tank it will help with smell :)

A good Gutload, is a good Gutload! - & can be used for both Crix or Roaches.

Any ideas about spent grains? I brew my own beer can I grind that up and feed it to my dubia colony.

Dubia can eat a lot of things. I don't think anyone has ever asked your question though. :D I would think as long as they aren't toxic to insects you should be ok, but it's hard to say if they will go after them. My colony loves bread, so who knows?

I am really unsure how much nutrition would be left in 'Spent' grains, don't think it would be my choice as a gutload anyway.

Ah yes, if the question was about gut-loading I agree 100%. Apologies, as I interpreted the question as can they eat them, but this thread is about gut-loading. :D
