Overview

 

Critter Cafe is dedicated to offering superior nutrition for your reptilian pets through our carefully bred Dubia roaches. Known for their exceptional nutritional profile, these roaches serve as an excellent food source, ensuring your pet receives a balanced diet conducive to their health and longevity.

 

Nutritional Benefits

 

Dubia roaches are renowned for their high protein content, essential for muscle growth and overall health in reptiles. In comparison to other feeder insects like crickets, Dubia roaches offer:

 

  • Higher Protein Content: Essential for growth, repair, and overall health.
  • Lower Fat: Makes for a leaner diet, reducing the risk of obesity in pets.
  • Higher Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio: Critical for bone health and reducing the risk of metabolic bone disease.
  • More Moisture: Helps with hydration, particularly beneficial for reptiles that might not drink enough water.

 

These aspects make Dubia roaches a superior choice, providing a well-rounded diet that supports the well-being of your reptilian companion.

 

Why Choose Dubia Roaches Over Crickets?

 

  • Nutritional Superiority: As outlined, the nutritional content of Dubia roaches surpasses that of crickets, offering a healthier, more balanced diet.
  • Longevity: Dubia roaches have a longer lifespan and are more durable than crickets, ensuring less waste and more value for your investment.
  • Less Noise and Odor: Unlike crickets, Dubia roaches are quiet and produce minimal odor, making them a more pleasant feeder insect to keep in your home.
  • Easier to Care For: They are less likely to escape, easier to contain, and require less maintenance than crickets, making them a hassle-free option for pet owners.
  • Safety: Dubia roaches are less likely to carry parasites and diseases compared to crickets, ensuring a safer feeding option for your pets.

Dubias

Rating is 4.9 out of five stars based on 15 reviews
$6.00Price

Dubias offer a low-maintenance and odor-free alternative to crickets, as they cannot climb, fly, and importantly, do not emit any unpleasant smells. They can be housed either in a Cricket Keeper or the container they arrived in, adapting well to regular room temperature and humidity levels. Their breeding is restricted to conditions of high heat and humidity, which is why they are not classified as pests in most US states.

 

Remarkably resilient, Dubias can survive for extended periods without food or water. However, to ensure optimal nutrition for your pet, it's recommended to gut-load the Dubias with insect food and provide a carrot for both hydration and a boost of vitamin A.

    Reliable Breeder!

    I have gone to many online websites for Dubia Roaches and this is by far the best choice. I’ve ordered multiple times and have always had a live arrival. The price is unbeatable and the bugs are quality. I never worry if my pet is eating something unsafe, I know the shop’s owner has me covered!

    I’m so happy with this company and these Dubia roaches. They arrived quickly, all alive (which is pretty impressive, considering the heat we are dealing with lately). Will be ordering more of these for my beardie. :)

    Arrived quickly and alive!

    Our order was shipped fast and arrived super quick. I believe all bugs were alive, a little smaller than I had expected but we ordered enough that it wasn’t a huge deal, he ate them!

    I can't say enough great things about Critter Cafe! We really struggled finding live, healthy Dubias locally. I'm so glad we found Critter Cafe, bugs arrive fast, healthy and they are affordable. Highly recommend!
