    Blaptica Dubia Chow Question
    What do you make for your Dubia Roaches as a dry chow? And, what do you feed throughout having them/breeding them?

    thanks,

    I don't make my own chow, but I use ProGeckos Pro Gutload. It seems to be doing very well for me. I also give them high protein fish flakes (40%+), oranges, banana and greens that my dragons don't eat.

    Most all recipes I have seen online involve quite a bit of ingredients and seems like a headache to make. And after pricing it out, I figured that ordering the gutload was cheaper. Breeding tub gets first dibs on fruits and vegies.

    dry mix....I use dog food, left over rodent food dust from bottom of feed bag, fish flakes, ground chicken mash and left over corn meal from my mealworm containers.

    veggies and fruits: Oranges and carrots.

    blended dog food will mold faster than unblended...
