Why Choose Stoffels Dubia Roaches?

For the beginner aquarist or terrarium hobbyist, choosing the right live food can be daunting. Stoffels Cockroaches offer a high protein-to-shell ratio, ensuring your pet receives maximum nutrition with every bite. These roaches are “gut-loaded,” meaning they have been raised on a vitamin-rich diet so that those nutrients are passed directly to your pet.

Key Benefits for Your Pets

• High Protein Content: Essential for growth in young reptiles and muscle maintenance in adults.

• Easy Digestion: Their softer exoskeleton compared to other beetles or large crickets reduces the risk of impaction.

• Low Fat Ratio: A healthier long-term staple than mealworms or waxworms.

Why They are User-Friendly

• No Noise: Unlike crickets, they do not chirp.

• No Odor: Stoffels roaches are kept in hygienic conditions and do not produce the pungent smell associated with other feeders.

• Easy Containment: They cannot climb glass or plastic, so escapes are virtually impossible in a standard feeding bowl.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners

1. Selection: Choose a roach that is no longer than the space between your pet’s eyes.

2. Frequency: Offer 2–3 roaches per feeding session depending on your pet’s size.

3. Dusting: For best results, lightly dust the roaches with Calcium or Vitamin D3 powder before offering them to your pet.

Storage and Maintenance

If you aren’t feeding all 10 at once, keep them in a small plastic container with ventilation. Provide a piece of egg crate for hiding and a small slice of carrot or apple for hydration. Avoid standing water, as they can easily drown.
