Dubia Cockroaches Pre-Pack Medium | Live Reptile Food

Dubia cockroaches are one of the most nutritious live feeder insects available to reptile and amphibian keepers. This medium pre-pack is gut-loaded before dispatch, meaning your animal benefits from the full nutritional value of well-fed prey. Suitable for a range of lizards and amphibians, these are a reliable staple or enrichment feed depending on your setup.

Why Dubia Cockroaches?

Blaptica dubia offer a strong nutritional profile and are naturally slow-moving, making them straightforward for reptiles to hunt and catch. Their tough exoskeleton means digestion takes more effort, so they work particularly well as a treat or supplementary feed rather than the sole diet item. Farm-bred under ethical conditions and pre-fed prior to packing, they arrive ready to offer directly to your animal.

Packaging and Transit

Your cockroaches are packed in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides to maintain airflow while keeping insects securely contained. During warmer months, the outer cardboard box may include additional perforations to aid cooling. In colder conditions, a heat pack may be included to help maintain a suitable temperature throughout the journey.

Keeping Them in Good Condition

• Hold at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts
• Offer fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato to maintain gut-load and hydration
• Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould and keep the tub clean
• Provide adequate space and hiding spots to reduce stress and avoid overcrowding
