What Size Dubias?

[avasgoldfish]

Newbie mom to a beardie here ... His(?) name might be Goldfish, because my 5 year old is probably naming him that. Goldfish is about 6.5" long, so I'm not sure what size Dubias to get for him. The online store I'm getting them from has different sizes - 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2".
I was a bit squeemish getting Dubia's but I keep reading how good they are for them though, so I'm going to go for it.
Thank you in advance! Pic enclosed because I think he is so darn cute! :lol:

Ugh. I just found out they do not ship to FL, which is where I live.

You can probably get discoid roaches. They're similar in size and nutrition content as dubias.

Thank you! I will look into those locally. Amazon has some Discoids but they're Medium sized, 1/2", and I'm not sure my 6 1/2" babe will be able to eat that. I was told Green Banana Roaches and Surinams are options as well. I'm just looking for the best deal at the moment because I don't even know if he'll like them.

You can maybe try out black soldier fly larvae?
They come in all different sizes and are a good staple for a little growing guy like him.
