Available in a small pack or a bulk bag to suit keepers feeding one animal or a whole collection, these are dispatched directly from the breeder and gut-loaded before packing — so they arrive in the best nutritional condition possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Dubia Cockroaches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDubias are well regarded among experienced keepers for their nutritional profile and ease of use. They move at a manageable pace, making them straightforward to feed off, and their soft body-to-exoskeleton ratio makes them more digestible than many other feeder insects of comparable size. The tougher outer shell means they are best used as part of a varied diet rather than the sole feeder, but they are an excellent addition to any feeding rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge dubias are well matched to reptiles and amphibians that can comfortably handle a larger prey item.

During warmer months the outer box may include additional perforations for ventilation; in colder conditions a heat pack may be included to protect the insects during transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKeeping Your Live Food in Top Condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get the most from your dubias, continue gut-loading them right up to feeding. Offer fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato — these provide both hydration and nutrients that pass directly to your reptile. Remove uneaten food daily to prevent mould. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and draughts, and provide adequate space and hiding spots to keep the colony calm and healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePack Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese large dubias are available in two pack sizes — a smaller pack suited to keepers with one or two animals, and a larger bag for those feeding multiple reptiles or wanting a reliable supply on hand.
