Daily Dubia Roaches

[vivi_ends013]

Lately, my bearded dragon has not been in the mood for his usual diet, and I think it is about time I get him his first dubia roaches. I was wondering if I can feed them to him on a daily basis? and if not, how often. also, how much should I buy for an adult beardie?

Yes, adults can eat them daily, but its not good for them to eat a lot of them. If your dragon is an adult it should eat 80% veggies, 20% insects. Your risking gout issues if dubias make up a lot of the diet.
As for how many to buy...depends on how many you feed him. But they can live a long time, so buy as many as you want. In fact, start a colony of them

Your welcome
Starting a colony of roaches really saves money. You can even make money by selling them. I have so many orange head roaches I'm going to sell them when Im a vendor at a reptile expo in April. I guesstimated on how much money I can make off of them. I can make $1000 and still have plenty left
