Why Choose Carolina Crickets Dubia Roaches:

• Superior Nutritional Profile: Boasts a much higher meat-to-shell ratio and higher protein content than standard crickets.
• Raised on a Premium Diet: Cultivated on a clean, strictly balanced plant-based diet to ensure high-quality, safe gut-loading.
• The Worry-Free Feeder: Unlike crickets, they cannot jump, fly, climb smooth plastic or glass, or bite your pets.
• Consistent Grading: Sorted accurately by size to guarantee predictable, safe feedings for your exotic pets.

What to Expect on Arrival:

Open your shipping box immediately upon delivery. Gently transfer your Dubia roaches into a smooth-sided, well-ventilated plastic or glass enclosure. Provide vertical cardboard egg crates to maximize climbing surface area. Offer a dry, high-quality grain diet alongside a safe moisture source like water crystals or fresh produce to prevent drowning. Note: Keep them in a warm environment, as they thrive and remain active at higher temperatures.

Count Policy and Care Note:

Counts are determined by volume and weight, allowing for minor variations due to the dense nature of live nymphs. While highly resilient, Dubia roaches are tropical insects; extreme external temperatures during shipping can impact live arrival. Please plan your orders with your local weather forecast in mind.

Quick Tip:

Because Dubia roaches are much wider and more heavily built than crickets of the same length, always measure the space between your reptile's eyes. If you are transitioning from crickets, err on the side of caution and buy one size smaller than you normally would to ensure safe swallowing.

What to expect on arrival:
Open the shipping box right away and gently transfer to a ventilated container with egg crate or cardboard for climbing. Provide a dry food source and a safe water source such as water crystals or fresh produce. Keep them dry and well ventilated. Avoid standing water.

Count policy and care note:
Counts are measured by volume and may vary slightly due to the nature of live insects. Extreme temperatures can affect transit and holding conditions, so plan your order with local weather in mind.

Quick tip:
When in doubt between two sizes, choose smaller and offer a few more per feeding. It is safer and easier for most animals to take multiple smaller prey items than a single oversized one.
