Dubia Cockroaches (Bag of 100) - Large | Reptile Livefood

Large dubia cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) are one of the most nutritious live feeder insects available to reptile and amphibian keepers. This bag of 100 large dubias is suited to feeding adult or sub-adult lizards that can handle a robust, protein-dense prey item. Dispatched directly from the breeder and gut-loaded before packing, these arrive ready to feed.

Nutrition and Feeding

Dubia cockroaches are highly nutritious and widely used as a staple or treat feeder for medium to large reptiles. Their tough exoskeleton means they are harder to digest than softer feeders, making them better suited to animals with a strong feeding response and healthy digestion. Because they are gut-loaded prior to dispatch, the nutritional content is maximised by the time they reach your vivarium. To maintain that nutritional value at home, continue feeding them fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato, and remove any uneaten food daily to prevent mould.

Suitable Species

• Adult Leopard Geckos
• Young Adult Bearded Dragons
• Young Adult Blue Tongue Skinks
• Pacman Frogs

Packaging and Transit

Cockroaches are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow while keeping the insects securely contained. During warmer months, the outer cardboard box may include additional perforations to assist with temperature regulation. In colder conditions, a heat pack may be included to keep the insects in good condition throughout the journey.

Keeping Your Livefood

Store dubias at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts. Provide appropriately sized housing with adequate hiding spots to avoid overcrowding and stress. Feed them regularly with fresh vegetables and remove uneaten food daily. Well-maintained dubias are noticeably more active and nutritionally superior when offered to your animals.

Livefood Quality

These cockroaches are farm-bred under ethical conditions and sent directly from the breeder to ensure freshness. Viperia dispatches livefoods five days a week using reliable couriers, with same-day packing as standard.
