Feeding Notes:
• Excellent as a daily staple feeder for most insectivorous reptiles.
• Should be dusted with calcium and multivitamin powder (especially for younger reptiles or breeding females) due to the moderate calcium-to-phosphorus ratio.
• Easy to gut-load with grains, fruits, and veggies to enhance nutritional value before feeding.
Storage Tip:
Keep Dubia roaches in a well-ventilated bin with egg crates and offer dry roach chow or grains, plus fresh produce like carrots or apples for hydration. No refrigeration needed—just keep them warm (75–90°F) for optimal health.
