Dubia Roaches

[TylerBlue27]

I am getting a bearded dragon in the near future. I am also thinking of starting a Dubia roach colony to have a consistent supply of live food for my beardie. Does anyone have any experience with Dubia roaches as beardie food, or raising a Dubia roach colony? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I personally love roaches. They are really easy to care for, and as long as you put them in a smooth container, they can't climb out. My beardie is only a few months, so I only give her five or six small roaches per day. The size of your future dragon will affect the size and amount of roaches your baby should eat.

Sorry if this came out as more of a rambling mess than anything.

Update: my mother is opposed to roaches in the house. Would superworms make a good staple?

What about Phoenix Worms?
