Hissing roaches?

[GingerC]

I'm getting a leopard gecko in a few months, and while I already have my crickets and supers set up, my little brother wants Madagascar hissing roaches as pets. This led to the inevitable question of whether you can feed them to leopard geckos.

Obviously, I'd never try feeding an adult to a leo, only the surplus babies. Does anyone know anything about their nutritional value? Is it safe to feed them any nymphs at the right size or should it only be freshly molted ones?

They do get big, so you have to feed young ones, freshly molted will work even better.
I found they grow so fast, it doesn't take long before they're too big for leopards.

They are fun roaches to have as pets, so they have that going for them.
