Dubia roaches in Canada?

Hello guys I'm just curios are dubia roaches still banned Canada wide? I saw someone in Ontario selling them but I live in Calgary Alberta so I'm just curios are they still banned here?

As far as I know yes.

Just because he is selling them doesnt make em legal LOL

I wish they were though!

Roaches and live Norway rats are illegal in Alberta

I know that rats are banned but roaches.... Come on they would not last 20 mins out side of their bin without heat damn Americans are lucky :o lol thanks guys.

I'd much rather feed roaches. Le sigh

Americans are lucky? The government is working on banning all the fun snakes and people are doing all they can to stop it. And you are complaining that you can't get roaches? Really? I feel bad for the Americans. People should be allowed to have the pets they want to have.

Ya but Alberta is much prettier than Ontario. Lol. I didn't know all those weren't allowed. I will stick with live in Ontario then.

LOL. I don't think it's really pretty here. I'd love to be in Ontario. You guys can have ratties AND Hoggies :(

I just don't under stand why you can't have dubia roaches the states at always hot most of the times and they still can't reproduce in states if they don't hav proper temps Canada its freezing... I honestly think we should be able to do what ever we want with are reptiles and feeders but sadly we can't... Thanks to all the input guys.

Dubia roaches in Canada are illegal,but there are some places that may sell you some but they are at risk of being caught.
