Dubia Cockroaches Pre-Pack, Medium
Robust and Versatile Feeder Insects
Medium Dubia cockroaches provide an active livefood option for many medium-sized insect-eating reptiles, amphibians and exotic pets. They move readily enough to attract a predator’s attention while generally being easier to contain than jumping feeder insects.
Dubia roaches cannot climb smooth vertical surfaces, although a secure container should always be used.
