2. Oranges ARE GOOD FOR DUBIA! No the citrus will not be passed off to your reptile or amphibian! 90% of what a dubia consumes is excreted thru shed and frass. Yes we have documented this thru testing dubia body's, frass and sheds!
I don't think anyone here has said oranges are bad for dubia. I do have a question, though: If 90% of plant/fruit matter are negated once a roach consumes it, why bother gut-loading at all? Unless I am misunderstanding you, I think that anyone that has felt or seen the contents of a roach's stomach after feeding would disagree with that. Just asking you to clarify, because I'm a little confused by this statement of fact (plus I may be one of those "know-it-alls" you refer to, I'd hate to be one of those terrible people).
