    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,

    Lance

    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.

    veggies and fruits: Oranges and carrots.
