Dubia Cockroaches Super-Pack - Medium

Medium Dubia cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) in a generous super-pack quantity, suited to keepers feeding one or more larger reptiles, amphibians, or invertebrates on a regular basis. Dubias are one of the most nutritionally complete livefood options available in the UK hobby — soft-bodied, slow-moving, and consistently accepted by a wide range of species.

Why Dubia Cockroaches

Dubia cockroaches offer an excellent nutritional profile, with a strong protein content and a favourable calcium-to-phosphorus ratio compared to many other feeder insects. They carry more usable meat per insect than crickets of equivalent size, and their low chitin content makes them easier to digest — particularly relevant for younger animals or species with more sensitive digestive systems.

What Medium Size Covers

Medium Dubias are suitable for a broad range of commonly kept reptiles and amphibians. Bearded dragons, blue-tongued skinks, juvenile monitors, large dart frogs, and adult leopard geckos are all typical candidates. As a general guide, offer insects no wider than the space between your animal's eyes.

Practical Keeping Notes

• Dubias do not climb smooth plastic or glass surfaces, making escapees far less likely than with crickets
• They are quiet and produce minimal odour compared to other livefood species
• Gut-load with quality greens or a dedicated livefood diet before feeding for best nutritional results
• Dust with calcium and vitamin supplements as part of your regular feeding routine

The super-pack format is well suited to keepers who feed multiple animals or larger species with higher weekly intake. Ordering in bulk reduces the frequency of restocking and keeps feeding sessions straightforward.
