Feeding Bearded Dragons: Why We Love Dubia Roaches & DubiGrubs
Bearded dragons are one of our most popular reptiles, and we love helping our customers give them the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. Two of our favorite feeder options are Dubia Roaches and DubiGrubs from Dubi Deli.
A Favorite for Our Bearded Dragons
We’ve seen firsthand what good nutrition can do. One of our bearded dragons arrived at the store very small and underweight at just 45 grams. After incorporating Dubia Roaches and DubiGrubs into his feeding routine, he reached 265 grams in just two months. Today, he weighs more than 500 grams!
Every bearded dragon is different, but his transformation is one of the reasons we’re so excited to offer these feeder insects to our customers.
Why Dubia Roaches?
Dubia Roaches are a nutritious feeder option for bearded dragons and other insect-eating pets. Dubi Deli lists its Dubia Roaches at approximately 23.4% protein and specifically recommends them as a feeder for bearded dragons.
They’re available in a variety of sizes, making it easier to choose an appropriately sized feeder as your bearded dragon grows. As a general guideline, Dubi Deli recommends choosing roaches that are no wider than the space between your reptile’s eyes..
What Makes DubiGrubs Different?
DubiGrubs are Black Soldier Fly Larvae raised on a plant-based diet. One of their biggest benefits is their naturally high calcium content. According to Dubi Deli, DubiGrubs contain high levels of calcium and an appropriate amount of phosphorus, so they do not require calcium-powder dusting.
That makes them a convenient addition to your reptile-feeding routine and another great way to add variety to your bearded dragon’s diet.
