Dubia Roach Nutrition
Gut-load Dubias the same as you would other feeder insects. Dubia roaches are omnivorous and can be fed a variety of nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and commercial roach chow. Fluker’s recommends using our High Calcium Dubia Roach diet, to feed your Dubias 24 hours prior to then feeding your roach to your pet. You can also use our dusting products on your roaches to provide your reptiles with essential nutrients and vitamins.

Hydration
Provide a source of water for the Dubia roaches, such as water gel or fresh fruits and vegetables. Make sure to replace the water source regularly to prevent mold and bacteria build up. Use a small dish filled with gravel, with water just covering the gravel, or Fluker's Cricket Quencher in Original and Calcium Fortified to provide a clean water source.
