Where do you order Dubia's?

[BabyScorchDragon]

I'm thrilled my Scorch baby has turned into a ravenous beast now that we got his lighting all straightened out! However, he had a bad experience with crickets early on and we switched to dubias. I've been buying dubias at a local pet store, and up until now, that worked. However, we are now eating 15-20 a day.... and um, $20 for 100 of them every 5 days is not super cost effective! ? I'm not wanting to start my own colony yet.... I'm just now getting the hang of taking care of the beardie, not ready to try raising my own feeders. Soooo.... where are good places to do mail order dubias???

The breeder I got my little guy from turned me toward dubiaroaches.com. You can get 500 smalls for about thirty-five bucks, or so. Sometimes they have sales and are cheaper, and they also sell BSFL, hornworms, crickets, 'variety packs', breeding pair/colony starter kits etc.. I got some a little cheaper from westcoastroaches.com, but their 'smalls' were super tiny where the dubiaroaches.com ones have been very consistent in size. Oh! And you can earn 'Dubia Dollars', so like rewards points or 'cash back', which can only help in the long run, right? These little scaly dragon beasts eat like crazy!!

If you want, I can send you a referral code that gets you 10% off your first order (and 500 "Dubia Dollars" for me... :lol: )

Super cute little one, by the way!!

I had checked out westcoastroaches.com....
Scorch is seriously just getting back on the right track after dealing with misinformation from pet stores and me being a newbie caretaker.... I wanted to make sure I got reliable references for places to order from, ya know?!? Poor thing!
He would eat a billion itty bitty smalls...? lol. I'll check out the other place you mentioned and post back if/when I order from there. All about discounts and helping you get some "Dubia Dollars!" :lol:
Things you thought you'd never say: "I have to run to the store for some roaches..." :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm also pretty certain I stole my son's pet! Haha! Love my (I mean, my son's) beardie! Thank you- I happen to think he's pretty cute too! Lord have mercy, I even tell him that.... :roll:
