Dubia Roaches

[Noella]

It's the first time Myah had Dubias today. I gave her eight nymphs and a few crickets for variety.

How'd she like them?

 

[Noella]

She liked them a lot.

 

[PatsyB]

That's good! Dubia's are supposed to be very nutritious. I tried to give them to mine once and they weren't too excited.

 

[Toni17]

Anyone know of a good site to order Dubias?

 

[KelliLorenz2000]

Dubia Deli is pretty good price wise. I haven't had them shipped though, bought mine at a reptile show they were at. Josh's Frogs is a place to check out.

I tried some of them on mine and she loved them . Meal worms seem to be the least favorited.

 

[Noella]

My little firecracker is going nuts for them! She's put on some more weight now.

 

[Toni17]

Seriously, I need to order some.

 

[Noella]

After the initial fear of them getting out, I haven't had any escapees like crickets. And Myah went off them after being diagnosed with Coccidia and Pinworms. (Crickets.)

 

[markorussell]

they get pinworms from crickets?

 

[Noella]

That's what I've heard from extensive research. (I can't tell if she got pinworms from a bad batch of them. Only it was recently.)

 

[PatsyB]

they get pinworms from crickets?

They could if the crickets aren't kept in a (fairly) clean environment.

Awesome place to order Dubia roaches and all other kinds of goodies for your beardie. I didn't know, but they are literally right down the road from me (less than 2 miles!) The guys there are great, and from the reviews, they have super fast shipping. They do a great job on raising feeders, Gojira chows down on them every day lol.

My type of place to order feeders.

@NickG1987 : I live in GA, too.

 

[NickG1987]

Oh cool What part? You may live close to them and not know it too! lol

 

[markorussell]

I change mine out weekly and reset the crickets

I was doing some R&R or Research and Review about feeding crickets during coccidia and pinworm infections and they said to switch to another feeder. So, I switched feeders to dubias and they are a hit with Myah. Her weight is gaining and she has reached 174 grams. She had been 164 grams just before giving her meds.
