General Starter Colony Information

Our Dubia Roach Starter Colony is a good choice for those who want to quickly establish a breeding colony to provide a constant supply of feeders.

As a general rule, Dubia are very social roaches. The more opportunity they have for interaction, the healthier they tend to be. This means that within reason, higher colony numbers lead to healthier roaches. And because healthy roaches are productive roaches, the more there are, the faster they breed.

And of course, faster breeding means faster colony growth. While just a handful of adults can create a full, thriving colony in time, Dubia roaches are most productive in larger, denser colonies with mixed nymphs like those that occur naturally in the wild.

Because all the Dubia roaches in our Starter Colonies are organic-fed and professionally bred, they make exceptionally healthy and productive stock for breeding projects.

We focus on providing our roaches with the ideal environment and superior nutrition. This is important for production because roaches store up nutrients their entire juvenile lives in preparation for breeding. When they become adults, they rely on those stored reserves. The healthier Dubia roaches are as pre-adults and the more nutrients they store up, the longer and more productive breeding lives they tend to have as adults.

We’re so confident you’ll like our roaches that we guarantee them 100%! Where a new Dubia roach colony ultimately ends up depends on where it begins. That’s how it goes with roach nutrition, so get your breeding project started right with our Dubia Roach Starter Colony!
