Keeping Live Small Dubia Roaches with different feeder insects can be tricky and is generally not recommended. You should use separate containers tailored to each insect species.
Live Small Dubia Roaches are often preferred over other feeder insects because they offer higher protein levels, lower fat content, and better digestibility, making them a healthier choice for many reptiles and exotic pets. They are also quieter, do not smell as strongly, live longer, and are much less likely to escape. Additionally, Dubia roaches are easy to gut-load, providing superior nutrition for your pets.
