Dubia Roaches

Hey I just got your PM but I didn't realize it's for a tegu. I tried to get my tegu to eat them and he did the first few times but after that he wasn't really interested in them. He just kills them now and leaves them there.
I think it depends on the tegu. You might want to start with a small batch before you spend your money.

I have some home for my Tarantulas. so I here and there give him one and eats them with no problem. Just the thought. I would say they are more healthy than the crickets.

Juveniles may eat roaches but adults most likely won't.

Beauregard ate them when he was younger, I wish he still did. Now they are chicken food.

You could try to freeze some and mix them in with his turkey as a cheap filler.

i wounder how much easier roaches are to keep than crickets. crickets are a pain in the @#$ lol. do the leave such a mess like crickets do? it seems like they would be alot more hardy. i order crickets from flukers. wear would be a good place to order roaches?
they got some of the best prices i've found (i've been through like 12 sites) you can find them a little cheaper but then you have to pay shipping... so Ian all in all is the cheapest (cuz the shippings free)
they are easy get ur self a 20+ gallon tote egg flats water crystals, dry kitten foon (put in a blender) and every other day give them baby food & some greens
put tote next to a heater or put a cheap heat pad under the tote
(the roach ranch has care guids & every thing on they site)
if i were you i'd buy atleast 50 large nymphs & a few adult pairs
feed off the nymphs and let the adults breed (keep 1 male to 4 females feed off the other males 1st)
