What in your opinion is the all time best feeder insect?

[burt1016]

Well? what is it. Mine has to be either roaches (dubia) or silkworms

 

[beardiebandit]

DUBY DUBY DOO! its gotta be the dubias! and i like waxies for treats!

 

[burt1016]

me 2. my beardie loves dubias but coloinie is slow so he gets a dubia a few times a week...

 

[augsburg1530]

By far, Dubia are the best and http://www.theroachguy.com is the best Dubia dude!

yeah i like roaches... but i went to scales and tales (colorado) and they gave (i bought) 20 lobsters.... just to see if they are good. i did put patrolium jelly and it really does stop them in their traks

 

[Akeath]

If we are talking about purely nutrition wise, I'd have to go with silkworms. However, with the amount of care added in they certainly aren't the all time best. With care and health both added in, I'd go with phoenix worms. Pity Hope doesn't realize they're edible.

last time I went there the only roaches they had were hissers and they didn't know of anybody that were breeding dubia for sale

Anything but crickets.

 

[burt1016]

go to scales and tales and get lobbies. they are not really like dubia they can climb but put vasoline and they will stop. they also breed REALLLLLLYYYY fast to fast. i bought 20. now i already got like 50...

Most nutrition : Silkworms
Easiest available : Roaches or Crickets
Easiest to breed : Roaches
Overall : I'd say roaches, though if silkworms didn't cost as much and need as much care they would win hands down.

But dont the roaches run all over the viv, the sides, ceiling etc???

 

[augsburg1530]

While roaches will crawl all over their viv, Dubia roaches are actually shy, plus they don't climb so they don't climb around the sides or lid of their container. Lobster roaches can climb, but a little barrier of vasaline around the top sides of their container keeps them in. My lobsters almost never climb the side of their container unless disturbed. They stay in their egg crates and live the modest life of a happy roach!

Crickets: Noisy, stink, high maintanence, carry lots of parasites, But they are cheap and everywhere(local or online) carries them. can be breed

Supers: No noise, no stink, low maintanence, cheap, everywhere(local or online) has them, adult dragons only because of shell. can be breed

Roaches: no noise, no stink, low maintanence, easy to breed. everywhere online carries them

Butters: no noise, no stink, no maintainance, kinda pricy. can't be breed

Phoenix: no noise, no stink, no maintainence, really pricy. can't be breed

Haven't tried silkies or enough hornies to say.
