Beardie Buffet for Dubias?

I'm about to get a shipment of 1/2" Dubias in probably tomorrow or so, and since Ardie tends to have leftovers, it'd make my life easier on not wasting his veggies. However, the Repashy Beardie Buffet isn't something I've had much luck introducing yet (he's intrigued by the taste but I've only gotten it into his mouth by coating his silkworms with it, lol) and I don't think he'll be interested while he's this young for the most part, so is it okay to let the dubias have it so it doesn't go to waste?

I know while this gel feed is good for beardies, I'm not sure if it's good for roaches and since there's BSFL mixed in there, I was wondering if there's a risk of the roaches converting that protein to uric acid? I know these guys I'm getting are just nymphs, but I want to be safe and check if it's okay.

Not that I plan on regularly feeding roaches this; I just want to see if these 25 roaches can finish off the leftovers without causing any health issues.

Hi there,

You can feed the dubias the beardie buffet. It's very high in protein, so definitely supplement it with some fruits/vegies to even out the protein % of the dubias diet.

Dubias will produce excess uric acid with any high protein diet. And unlike other insects, dubia can't excrete their excess. From what I can see, the beardie buffet is quite high in protein. So it's something you can feed if you want, but definitely don't make it a regular thing.
