Not something we carry but highly recommended. There are many good brands of calcium - if you're not dusting your feeder insects go pick some up at your local pet shop or Amazon!

Sleepy lizard? If he's in brumation he'll probably come out of it soon now that the days are getting longer. How long is normal to brumate depends on age, species, and individual. When in doubt, check with your vet!

🕷Ever see a snow spider? We see them quite frequently walking across the surface of the snow on midwinter days like today when the sun is out and the temps are above freezing.

❄Mid February could get pretty chill again so if you have critters to feed this is a good time to order your dubias while the "safe shipping days" are here!

01/11/2024

🧊Ultra cold temps predicted for next week!
👉We will not be shipping live insects Mon. Jan. 15-Wed. Jan. 17.

😮OOPS! Seems we underestimated how many roaches we had this week. 😎So we just refreshed stock mid-week! 😀If you're looking for 200 counts of 5/8"-3/4" and 1/2"-5/8" dubias, we've got 'em now. (While supplies last this week.) #dubiaroachesforsale #mediumdubiaroaches #thebugshed

We have a limited number of roaches available at this time in sizes up to 5/8"-3/4". If you don't see exactly what you want, don't worry - we'll be sorting soon and will let you know when there are more! Shop now: https://loom.ly/2DWt1QA #thebugshed #dubiaroaches #dubiaroachesforsale

🤔 "Will my dubias still be alive if my order is late?" As a #dubiaroachsupplier, we hear this question pretty often. The USPS usually does a good job of getting live insect packages to you on time. But once in a while a package gets delayed. And customers (understandably) get worried! 🤠But dubia roaches are incredibly tough critters. We recently received an unclaimed package back in the mail. The dubia roaches packed inside (3/8"-1/2" dubias and 5/8"-3/4" roaches) had been shuffled around in the mail for 3 weeks. 😮 Would any of them survive? Or would they all be dead? The answer may surprise you! #dubiaroaches #dubiaroachcompany #thebugshed

It's a roach party, and everyone's invited! 🐜🦎 Give your reptiles a taste of the tropical with our juicy, nutrient-packed dubia roaches. #DubiaRoaches #ReptileFood #TastyTreats
