I happen to have a large supply of pesticide free earwigs (pincer
bugs), do you think it is OK to feed them to my parrot and green terror
cichlids?

I think it depends what they have been feeding on. Earwigs eat some quite
toxic plants and the toxins will still be in their body.

good point, thank you.

I also noticed that my Green Terror won't really eat live food. I've
been givng them frozen blood worms and flake food, and I have noticed
in the past that my parrot would eat live stuff, but the green terror
won't touch it. bummer.
