I ordered about 10, and yesterday my female went to town on some.... I mean went straight for them and just tore em to shreds. The crunch sound was so damn intense...
I have a couple of pictures...

Any reason? Aren't those pretty price compared to say Dubia? Or DeadHeads?

Experimenting... A variety... True they are. Cool to watch and I'm sure loads of health benefits for my dragon

From one roach to the next, I'd assume the nutrients were quite similar? They are closely related.

True. And as close as they are related, and built. Managascars are larger, with larger stomachs, eating more, absorbing more nutrients. So yes, there is a difference in healthiness. But I don't order them often. I usually keep her eating crickets. And I do have a lobster roach colony(starter). So she gets a small variety. Eats veggies and fruits some.
