Switching from cricket to dubia... help!

[BeardiePrincess7]

Hi!! I have a baby beardie who was eating size small crickets and we want to switch him to dubia. I was told here that any size would be ok for him. I got the small/medium from dubiaroaches.com, but these things are kinda big! They’re much wider than crickets and I don’t want him impacted! Is there something that makes these easier to digest than crickets? Is size 5/8” medium ok for a beardie eating size small crickets? I also got him medium bsfl. Just checking these are also ok to give.
thanks so much!!!

i think they look good! rule of thumb is to make sure that they aren’t bigger than the space between your dragons eyes

Thanks! Ive read this about crickets and wondered if same applies to Dubai’s. So, I looked around this site and I’ve read mixed reports on this.. Is it the Dubias width or length that shouldn’t be longer than space between their eyes? Our Dubias seem mostly longer than wider. Thank you!

I usually go bye the Length of the Dubia. Good Luck.

I would knock it down one size --- to me they look like they could pose a problem its good to be on the safe side
