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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutrition and Feeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDubia 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Leopard Geckos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Adult Bearded Dragons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Adult Blue Tongue Skinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacman Frogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging and Transit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCockroaches are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow while keeping the insects securely contained.
