I'm sure there's plenty of posts regarding dubia roaches on here, but if you're considering dubias I would highly recommend West Coast Roaches. I recently ordered from them because I was tired of dealing with crickets and they were top notch. It's a small family run company and their customer service shows their dedication. I had tons of questions and they were more than accommodating. I started my own colony, with their advice, and already have babies.
My dragon loves crickets too much to just feed her roaches, plus she ate like 30 gut loaded roaches in one sitting, i tried to feed her some crickets after than but she wouldn't eat them, just wanted to see if she was still hungry, then took them out because she wouldn't eat them and tossed her 5 more and she gobbled them down. Then the next day she wouldn't touch them so i gave her some more crickets lol. I just ordered 1k more crickets, although the people i was getting dubia's through i think was a rip off, i paid like $10 for 15 roaches, then found someone else that sold them to me for like $30 for 500 i think it was. But a bunch of them were dead on arrival, and I called and complained, not really complained but somewhat, really just made a statement, and they said it happens and there was nothing they could do, so I have been looking for a different company to get some. My crickets just had a ton of babies, so I'm letting them mature while I just order some new ones.

They are great at West coast roaches. Fair prices and shipping. I try to give my dragon a variety. Have you tried hornworms? My dragon loves them. Mulberry farms has great deals. I just ordered a bunch, none dead and nice and plump.
Well, the west coast roaches have a crazy deal going on right now, i basically got 100 small roaches for free, well, i had to pay for shipping which was $8, but hey you can't beat that lol. So I'll give them a shot, thank you for the reccommendation hopefully this works out.

A) sorry for the double post lol, i think i was typing at the same time.
B) I was told not to feed hornworms yet because of her age. She is still really young, 3 months old now i believe. Might be 4 months, I'll have to look when I got the time and remember lol.
But yeah, I was told hornworms weren't good for them because of their size and how tiny my dragon is right now. So I'm waiting til she gets a little bigger.

The small dubia will be perfect then. Hornworms will be good in a few months. They arrive about one inch, but grow quick. You can let them grow until they are the size you want. I currently feed super worms, hornworms, dubia, and crickets. He seems to like the variety, along with greens of course. Waxworms are good as a treat also. Black soldier fly larvae would be good too, they are small.
