Dubia Cockroaches Pre-Pack - Medium

Medium dubia cockroaches (Blaptica dubia), available in a pre-pack format suited to a range of reptiles and amphibians. Gut-loaded before dispatch and sent straight from the breeder, these are a reliable, nutritious feeder insect for keepers who want quality live food delivered to their door. Available in two pack sizes to suit how much you need.

Why Dubia Cockroaches?

Dubias are a well-established feeder insect among UK reptile keepers. They're straightforward to handle and feed off, and their nutritional profile makes them a solid addition to a varied diet. One consideration worth knowing: the exoskeleton is relatively tough, so dubias are best used as a treat food or rotational feeder rather than a primary staple for all species — this supports healthy digestion for your reptile.

Sourcing and Gut-Loading

These cockroaches are farm-bred under ethical conditions and dispatched directly from the breeder. Before packing, they are gut-loaded to maximise their nutritional content on arrival, so your reptile benefits from every feeding. Farm-bred stock also means consistent sizing and a clean, disease-reduced supply.

Packaging and Transit

Your dubia cockroaches arrive in a ventilated plastic tub with small air holes along the sides — enough airflow to keep the insects in good condition, without any escape risk. During warmer months, the outer box may include additional perforations for ventilation. In colder periods, a heat pack may be included to maintain a safe transit temperature.

Suitable Species

Medium dubias work well for a range of insectivorous and omnivorous reptiles and amphibians, including:

• Leopard Geckos
• Juvenile Bearded Dragons
• Juvenile Blue Tongue Skinks
• Pacman Frogs

Keeping Your Live Food in Condition

To get the most from your dubias, keep them at room temperature away from direct sunlight and draughts. Feed them fresh leafy greens, carrots, squash, or sweet potato to maintain hydration and nutritional value right up until feeding time. Remove uneaten food daily to keep conditions clean and prevent deterioration. Providing adequate space and hiding spots will keep the colony calm and active.

Choose the pack size that suits your feeding schedule — whether you're topping up for a single animal or stocking up for multiple vivarium setups, having the right quantity on hand means your reptile always has access to fresh, well-conditioned live food.
