Extra Small Dubia Roaches 1/4″

At 1/4″ these extra small Dubia nymphs are the perfect-sized feeder insect for young bearded dragons, chameleons, frogs, and other young insectivore animals. Dubia Roaches make an ideal Gut-loading vessel for reptile nutrition.

This interesting invertebrate more closely resembles a pill bug (isopod) than a roach. Easy to care for they are often most keepers go to bug for supplementing both their budget and nutrition. Dubia roaches make a great insect to be added to almost any insectivore’s diet.

What size Dubia do I feed my reptile?

Most keepers feed Dubia that are no larger than the space between the eyes of the reptile or animal being fed.

Make sure you are dusting your Dubia with calcium powder before feeding to prevent MBD in reptiles.

What is MBD?

Metabolic Bone Disease is not mentioned enough by retailers that sell dubia roaches.  Captive-raised reptiles need large amounts of calcium in their diet in order to grow properly. Without enough calcium, the reptile can be left seriously injured. Calcium for reptiles is extremely cheap and should not be an overlooked step.

By weight not by count

We list counts for ease of understanding for our customers. However, all of our insects are sold by weight and a generous weight.

In Example: If you buy 100 bugs you could receive 105 or 95 in the count. However, your reptile will be getting the same amount of weight in dubia. Normally all of our counts are over by a generous amount. But in some cases, female dubia weigh more and can throw the count off if you receive more of them.
