🦎Dubia roaches make an excellent high-protein treat for your bearded dragon during the holidays, they’re nutritious, easy to digest, and loved by dragons everywhere

🐉Snack Tips:

• Feed appropriately sized roaches (no bigger than the space between the dragon’s eyes
• Offer as a treat, not the full diet (2–4 roaches for a snack portion depending on size and age
)• Dust lightly with calcium + D3 if it’s part of their feeding schedule• Supervise snack time to avoid over-excitement chomping 😆
• Hydrate your roaches beforehand by gut-loading with veggies (carrots, leafy greens, squash)

Holiday Bonus:Dubia roaches are like the Christmas cookies of the bearded-dragon world delicious, exciting, and part of the celebration, but still healthy when served right 🥕

🌟 Feeder Insect Fact of the Day! 🌟

Did you know not all feeder insects are created equal? 🦗 vs. 🪳

Crickets are a common choice, but Dubia roaches pack a bigger nutritional punch for your reptiles and amphibians:

✅ Higher Protein – Dubias average 20–23% protein, giving your pet strong muscle support.
✅ Lower Fat – Helps prevent obesity and keeps energy levels steady.
✅ Better Calcium-to-Phosphorus Ratio – Important for bone health and preventing metabolic bone disease.
✅ Less Chitin – Softer exoskeleton makes them easier to digest, especially for younger pets.
✅ No Chirping, No Smell – Unlike crickets, Dubias are quiet, clean, and long-lived!

✨ That’s why so many reptile keepers call Dubia roaches the superfood of feeder insects!
