Dubia Cockroaches Pre-Pack - Adult

Adult dubia cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) are a highly nutritious live food staple for larger lizards and other reptiles. Available in a small pack for occasional feeding or a larger bag for regular use, these are dispatched directly from the breeder and gut-loaded before packing to arrive in the best possible condition.

Why Dubia Cockroaches

Dubia cockroaches are well established as one of the more nutritious feeder insects available to reptile keepers. They're easy for animals to chase and catch, making feeding time stimulating as well as nutritious. Their tough exoskeleton means they're best offered as a treat or alongside more easily digestible feeders, rather than as a sole staple — but as part of a varied diet, they're an excellent choice.

Suitable For

These adult-sized cockroaches are appropriate for larger reptiles that can handle the size and exoskeleton. Commonly fed to:

• Adult Bearded Dragons
• Adult Ackie Monitors
• Adult Blue Tongue Skinks
• Other large lizards and reptiles of comparable size

Packaging and Transit

Cockroaches are packed in ventilated plastic tubs with small air holes to maintain airflow and keep insects contained during transit. Seasonal adjustments are made to outer packaging — additional perforations in warmer months and heat packs included in colder months — to help maintain suitable conditions throughout the journey.

Keeping Them in Good Condition

To get the most from your livefood, keep cockroaches at room temperature away from direct sunlight and draughts. Offer fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato regularly and remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Providing adequate space and hiding spots keeps them active and healthy until feeding time — well-maintained livefood delivers significantly better nutrition to your animal.

Gut-Loading and Nutrition

These cockroaches are pre-fed before dispatch to ensure they arrive nutritionally loaded. To maintain that nutritional value at your end, continue feeding them a varied diet of fresh vegetables right up until they're used. If you dust feeders with a calcium or vitamin supplement at feeding time, dubia cockroaches take supplementation well.

Available in two pack sizes to suit different feeding frequencies and collection sizes — choose the option that fits your setup from the variants above.
