FOOD FOR THE REPTILE COMMUNITY
Cockroaches are becoming a very popular feeder choice for those in the reptile industry. Individual roach species vary somewhat in size, breeding pattern and ability to climb surfaces, but in general they are easy to keep and contain, relatively odorless and prolific breeders. Their meat to shell ratio is high, providing a good amount of food per prey item.
Of all roaches, the Blaptica Dubia Roaches are among the best feeder roaches on the market. Dubia Roaches don't climb smooth surfaces, they don't fly (males have wings and can sometimes hover), and, if kept properly they have no odor. Blaptica Dubia Roaches are nutritious for a variety of reptiles because they are soft-bodied, high in protein, low in fat, and have a lot of meat. Dubia Roaches have a “clean”, streamlined look that is not upsetting to many bug-phobic people. They breed at a moderate rate so a small colony is adequate for a correspondingly small reptile collection.
Blaptica Dubia Roaches are very easy to care for and even easier to breed. For food, just give them fresh fruits, vegetables, and roach food regularly. You will also need to make sure their enclosure is clean, and provide them with water crystal gel. Dubia Roaches need to be heated and have an appropriate amount of humidity. Please refer to our care sheet for more information about Dubia Roach care.
