How to Care for & Breed Dubia Roaches

Dubia roaches have very little requirements when it comes to both care and breeding. On top of that, they're possibly the most healthy feeder insect for reptiles and amphibians because they're packed with natural vitamins.

Basically, all dubias need are a nice sized tub, enclosure, or aquarium and food a few times per week is beneficial. I've found it's best to use vegetables with dubia roaches over fruit or a roach diet because not only do they include both the food and water they need, however, they also do not rot and attract bugs like fruit does.

If you want to breed the roaches, heating and humidity is more important. Although they can survive just about any temperature, adding a heat pad with some sort of lid to keep humidity in will keep their enclosure very warm, which the roaches prefer because they are naturally from such tropical places.
