Banjo absolutely sailing towards my snack last night!
After owning Banjo and Levi for a couple weeks now, their personalities really are shining 😂
Banjo explores lots and tolerates handling very well
Levi tolerates handling well but would much rather stay buried
A few of my Dubia roaches hanging out together on their new coco shelter
My largest male roach seems to be making his way round the ladies so we may have some babies soon
These guys can make wonderful first time pets to teach children about the responsibilities of animal care. They are fairly low maintenance and incredibly low cost!
Dubia roaches are more commonly kept as feeder insects for reptiles such as lizards, so they are very readily available for purchase in small colonies (6-8 roaches via PAH) for a small cost.
They require a secure tank or plastic tote to thrive, personally I keep mine on coco fibre substrate but this isn’t always necessary. You can provide them with conditioned water or bug gel, I prefer the gel as these guys are quite good at sleeping in the water!
As always no pet is a ‘throw away’ pet every animal you bring into your home should be treated well and with respect (for feeders treat them well until they treat your animals tummy well) please do as much reliable research as possible before bringing an animal into your family, this means looking at many different sources of information and asking different breeders about their stock.

I had the pleasure of dog sitting Bonnie over new years ❤️
