Extra Small Dubia Roaches

Product Description

You can save when you buy Dubia roaches by size range because they take less time to process and ship. These are the same supremely healthy roaches that we sell in discreet sizes. The only difference is that with a ranges (Extra-small, small, etc.), there is more size variation.

Our Extra-small Dubia roaches are approximately ¼-inch and under.

And this is also the trade-off. The range for these extra smalls is narrow, but it exists. The size variability is greater than with discreet sizes like Minis or ¼-inchers. An order of Extra-small Dubia Roaches will contain both of these sizes, so your animal should be able to comfortably eat the largest ones in the bunch. That way, they can eat them all.

If your animal can handle feeders in a size range, these are the best value in terms of roaches per dollar. In addition to Extra-small, we also have Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-large Dubia roaches.

Minis and ¼-inchers are both popular sizes for small animals. Mini Dubia roaches are often fed to hatchling chameleons, geckos, arachnids, and beardies, while ¼-inch Dubia roaches are commonly fed to small bearded dragons, small chameleons, small tarantulas and arachnids, small pixie frogs, fish, birds, and other similarly sized animals.

Extra-small Dubia Roaches Sizing Notes

We try to include a mix of sizes within the range for each order.

Please note that size will vary according to hydration and feeding status. We ship all of our roaches plump and fully fed, but they may become dehydrated and hungry in transit. Extra smalls will have some of our smallest roaches, and the smaller they are the fewer nutritional reserves they have. They also dehydrate the fastest.

Dehydrated Dubia roaches appear smaller and flatter than normal, so feed them when they arrive – especially if they look flat.

It is sometimes a good idea to set them in a dark, warm, quiet spot for a short while. This will give them a chance to recover from the stress of travel, if needed.
