Dubia Roaches

I recently bought a starting colony of Dubias. I did some research and found that Dubias are one of the best feeder insects and there's are a lot of reasons why. Let me make a quick list for you.

Advantages:
1. Dubias do not stink! Crickets do.

2. They are very easy to breed, I saw babies crawling around the first week I got them.

3. Easy to house: Tupperware container.

4. They can eat cereal.

5. Way more nutritious than your average cricket

6. Very clean, yes roaches can be clean.

7. Reptiles love'em.

8. If you have an abundance you can sell them and make some nice money, they sell for like 50 cents a piece. This doesn't sound like much but if you only sell 12 you get six bucks. That just gives you an idea

9. They can't hop around like crickets, so it's a lot harder for them to escape.

Disadvantages:

1. They are shy creatures.

2. They have the word roach in their name, this makes people think of dirty, gross, insects. Trust me they are not, their the cleanest feeder insects I have worked with.

I highly recommend Dubia Roaches, they are awesome!!!
