Dubia Roach????

[Guest]

Hi im planning on getting a Tegu some time soon and I was wondering if Dubia Roachs would be ok for them as I have a colony of them and would save me buying crickets/ hoppers ect. If they are ok for them how often and how many should they have them?

Dubias are good for tegus, I'm not sure how many a tegu can eat for meals. Variety is recommended/important for feedings, roaches shouldn't be a problem but you should probably still consider feeding mice, ground turkey, eggs, worms etc. here and there.

Yes im still planning on feeding them everything else but it would save me buying loads of boxs of crickets each week

tegus will only really eat crickets for so long maybe a month or two if that they get tried of chasing them when they are so tiny roaches seem much better

Our tegu is about 74 cm (a little smaller than 2Ã?â??Ã?½ feet) and she still loves crickets. XD

I've heard from multiple reliable sources that dubias are fantastic as a feeder insect, for tegus and any other bug-munchin' reptile... which is why we just started our dubia colony.

roaches A#1

i use them for all my tegus, toads, & frog.
i still buy like 30 crickets to offer varitiy to the toads & frog every other week

Roaches are aleast 3x better than crix in my opinion
