Discoid Roaches

[tomboy1988]

From what I've read, Discoid Roaches are very similar to Dubia Roaches. One thing that concerns me is some sites say that the babies shouldn't be fed to hatching dragons due to the hard shell. Has anyone ever tried these? Does anyone currently feed them? I'm in Florida and they're the only legal roaches I have found so far that I like. All advice and experience offers welcome! Thanks!

Anyone? Surely another Florida resident out there has had to use them before.

Having nothing to compare them to my beardie (125 grams) can eat 1/4 inch size discoids with no problems. He loves them. He still gets crickets too.

And do they digest completely? Once person on another site said her beardie passed the entire exoskeleton. Did you have issues with this?

Nope no issues. I do make sure to feed appropriate size. If I have too big ones I close my eyes and plug my ears and cut in half.

As long as baby Discoids are just as safe as baby Dubia, I'm good. I'm in the process of ordering some now to form a colony. Thanks so much for your response!
