Dubia Roaches

Dubia Roaches for Healthy, Reliable Feeding

Dubia Roaches are live feeder insects commonly offered to suitable reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Their steady movement and soft-bodied nature can make them a useful feeder option for many insect-eating animals where live insects are appropriate.

Dubia Roaches should be offered in the correct size for the animal being fed and used as part of a varied feeding routine alongside suitable gut loading, supplementation and species-specific care.

How to Use

Offer Dubia Roaches based on the animal’s size, species, age and condition. Always choose an appropriately sized roach to reduce feeding issues.

Dubia Roaches can be offered with feeding tongs, placed in a feeding dish where suitable, or released carefully in small numbers depending on the setup and animal. Remove uneaten live food after feeding to help keep the enclosure clean.

Care Guidance

Dubia Roaches should be used as part of a varied feeding routine and not relied on as the only feeder insect. Gut loading and suitable calcium or vitamin supplementation may be needed depending on the animal being fed.

Store live food correctly in a ventilated container with suitable food and hydration, and use fresh, active insects where possible.
