In-depth information

Our Large Dubia Roaches range from ¾-inch to 1-inch in length, making them an excellent choice for many of the most widely kept exotic animals. ¾-inch Dubia roaches are often fed to medium to large bearded dragons, chameleons, many geckos, and tarantulas, and more. 1-inch Dubia roaches are often fed to younger animals of a larger species, like small tegu and young monitors, and even many birds and fish! People also feed them to large bearded dragons, chameleons, frogs, and arachnids.

In addition to Large, our grouped sizes include Extra-small, Small, Medium, and Extra-large. Because these are easier to package and ship than exact sizes, they are often the best value in roaches-per-dollar.

With grouped sizing (versus exact sizes), you want to be sure your animal(s) can manage all the roaches in the size range. In this case, the largest is 1 inch. You can usually feed your animals roaches that are too small, but not if they are too big. Be sure your animal(s) can eat 1-inchers if you want to avoid waste.

Item specific sizing notes

• We ship all roaches fully fed. While large Dubia keep their full size longer than smaller ones, they will become dehydrated in time.
• Large Dubia Roaches tend to lose more size when dehydrated or hungry than smaller ones.
• When dehydrated or hungry, they are smaller and appear flat. It is always a good idea to feed your Dubia when they arrive, especially after a long trip.
• Many people like to plump up their Dubia before feeding them off. To do this, offer moisture-rich food and place them in a warm, dark place for a day or so.
• You can adjust the size of your roaches to suit your animal. Large Dubia roaches gain (or lose) a tremendous amount of length and girth when fed (or hungry and thirsty).
