They scare me half to death but they don't fly, jump or climb which is great.
My beardies go mad for them and they breed very fast so I give the baby dubias to some of my Leo's who also seem to like them.

we have lobster roaches and will be getting some dubias in the future. our food bill has been halved since we got the lobster colony and they just sit in a big RUB in the airing cupboard. almost zero maintenance. we feed them every day and harvest approx 40 a week of different sizes to feed the cwds, beardys and leos. They ALL love them!

dream come true! they cant fly, jump or climb, so very easy to contain. They breed quick if they are given heat and a dark container. once u have a colony u will have sizes ranging from 1cm right up to 2inches, so can feed all your animals. i only have a beardie and 2 salamanders but they all love them. i just have mine on top of the viv where the heat lamp is, so they have a hot area and a cool one. they eat almost any veg, cricket pellets, dry dog/cat food. u dont need to give water as they eat orange and lettuce etc. and because no water, no mould and no smell. i am totally over the moon with mine, i hate crickets and find they are hard to maintain and to clean out. these roaches are so easy , they hardly need cleaning but when they do, just lift up the egg carton and they will be clinging to it, and stuck like glue, so u just lift the egg carton and give the box/tank a quick clean. i use a large plastic box, like a storage box for about £3 from B&Q, taped black bin bag to sides and drilled lots and lots of holes in the lid to let moisture escape.
anyway yeah... im blabbing. they are great. and in my opinion much less creepier than crickets and locusts, all my life i been scared of bugs and tonight i even stroked an adult roach. they are quite cute ![]()

With the animals you've got I'd do the lobster roaches as they're smaller and mature quicker, both leo's and beardeds love them, breed quicker than the dubia too. You would just need to put a band of vaseline around the top of their container to keep them in as they can climb glass.
If you take a look at my add large roach colony for sale, you'll see the lobsters climbing the glass on the bottom 2 pics to give you an idea of size etc. I have them on a heat mat, porridge oats on the floor and use fruit for fluids and feed with the oats, left over uncooked veg and tropical fish food, keep them in the dark and crowded they go great guns. |
