Bearded Dragon Dubia Roaches

Bearded Dragon Dubia Roaches

Bearded dragon Dubia roaches, also called Dubias (Blaptica dubia) are a healthy well balanced foodstuff for captive kept Bearded dragons and other insectivorous lizards. As with most other well balanced insects, Dubias contain most of the main ingredients, namely proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins and water. The fact that Dubias are practical and easy to breed, manageable and non-odorous makes them increasingly popular feeder insects.

Bearded Dragon Dubia Roach Sizes

Adult Dubia roaches can grow to the size of about 3.8 cm / 1 ½ ". This makes Dubia roach adults perfect for almost any sized Bearded dragon, except for babies. Baby Bearded dragons can be fed on Dubia nymphs which are about 3 mm / 1/8 " in length.

Bearded Dragon Dubia Roach Feeding

Feeder Dubias should always be gut loaded twenty four to forty eight hours prior to being fed to Bearded dragons.
