Dubia Cockroaches (Bag of 100) - Adult | Bulk Livefood

Adult dubia cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) are a well-established feeder insect for larger reptiles and amphibians. This bag of 100 adult specimens is suited to keepers running regular feeding schedules for medium to large lizards. Gut-loaded before dispatch and sent directly from the breeder, these arrive in the best nutritional condition possible.

Nutritional Profile and Feeding Role

Dubia cockroaches are protein-dense and slow-moving, making them easy for reptiles to track and catch. Their tough exoskeleton means they are harder to digest than softer feeders, so they work best as a regular component of a varied diet rather than a sole food source. Adult sizing makes them appropriate for larger, mature animals.

Suitable Species

• Adult bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
• Adult blue tongue skinks (Tiliqua spp.)
• Adult ackie monitors (Varanus acanthurus)
• Other large insectivorous or omnivorous lizards

Packaging and Delivery

Cockroaches are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow without compromising containment. During warmer months, the outer cardboard box may include additional perforations for ventilation; in colder months, a heat pack may be included to maintain suitable temperatures during transit. All livefoods are dispatched directly from the breeder.

Keeping Them Fresh Before Use

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Continue gut-loading right up to feeding time — fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato all work well and directly improve the nutritional value passed on to your reptile. Remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Provide adequate housing with hiding spots to reduce stress and prevent losses.
