Dubias Roaches

The Dubia cockroach is found in Central and South America. They are common from French Guyana and Brazil to Argetina.

Dubia cockroaches have become popular for feeding reptiles and amphibians because they are a high quality herp food source that is easier to raise than crickets. Dubia are a meaty roach with a soft body which contain a much higher ratio of protein to indigestible chitin compared to crickets.

The Dubia Roach can be fed to:

Arachnids, Bearded Dragons, Frogs, Centipede’s, Lizards, Mantis, Monitors, Salamanders, Scorpions, Sugar Gliders and Turtles

They breed in drier conditions than many other roaches and produce little odor. They are

calm and easy to handle for feeding. They do not make any noise which is another reason they are becoming much more popular than crickets. Instead of having an escaped cricket forcing you to go "camping" at home, if you drop a roach they are easy to catch.

Compared to other roaches, they are exceptionally poor climbers and cannot climb glass or plastic; they can, however, climb silicone used to seal fish tanks.

Compared to crickets, dubia roaches are quiet, don't smell, don't jump out of the enclosure, are less picky eaters, are more hardy. But they mature more slowly.
