200 Dubia Roaches XL 1.25ft and up No Adults - High-Protein Feeder

In this review the reviewer looks at the 200 Dubia Roaches XL 1.25' and up No Adults to determine whether they are a reliable feeder for medium to large reptiles and invertebrates. The bottom line: this tub is best for owners who need a high-protein, easy-to-manage food source that arrives alive and in large sizes; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of size and nutrient density, since these roaches deliver a high 23.4% protein content suited to grown bearded dragons, leopard geckos and tarantulas. This review focuses on practical feeding, storage and value observations from customer reports and product details.

Key Features

• Nutrient-Rich: With 23.4% protein and 7.2% fat, these roaches provide a dense protein source that supports growth and condition in carnivorous reptiles and amphibians.
• Large Size Range: Packaged as XL at 1.25' and up, the roaches are a good match for adult reptiles that require larger prey items for proper jaw and digestive stimulation.
• Low-Maintenance: Dubia roaches are easy to care for and store, making them convenient for hobbyists who want a stable feeder colony without frequent handling.
• Containment Advantages: These roaches do not fly, cannot climb smooth surfaces and make no noise, which reduces escape risk and household disturbance.
• Ready Storage: The roaches arrive in a tub and are intended to be kept in a cool, dry place between 60-75F and under 60% humidity for reliable survival and longevity.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at reptile and amphibian keepers who need a live, high-protein feeder in larger sizes - for example, owners of adult bearded dragons, adult leopard geckos that accept larger prey, chameleons that take chunkier items, pacman frogs and many tarantulas. The size and protein profile specifically benefit animals that require dense nutrition and can handle 1.25' items.

It is not ideal for very small hatchlings or species requiring micro feeders, since the XL size will be too large. Breeders or keepers who need a continuous breeding colony with adults present should look for mixed-age or breeding stock rather than this no-adults tub focused on large, usable feeders.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High protein content makes these roaches an excellent nutritious staple for carnivorous reptiles.
• Large, healthy specimens arrive alive and are reported to have high survival in transit.
• Low escape risk and quiet housing due to inability to fly or climb smooth surfaces.

Cons

• The XL size is not suitable for very small juveniles or species that need tiny feeders.
• Requires attention to storage temperature and humidity to maintain survival and health.
