In order to care for Dubia, there are many feeding options but they need 15 to 20% of their diet to be protein. You can feed them a combination of cricket food and mix in Superload as a gutload. You can also use Repashy Bug Burger alone as well as a complete diet (this is our highly recommended option). Dubia also enjoy oranges slices, fish flakes, and protein-enriched whole wheat bread! Many people grind up commercial dry dog food and find they do very well. Here is the instructions from our care sheets as well:
-Roaches in smaller quantities shipped in a cup with egg flats can be housed and fed in the cup. -For larger quantities, place your roaches in a container with smooth sides so they can't escape (plastic tubs, aquariums, etc) this will also keep other insects from entering! -Use a screen lid for an aquarium or cut a hole in a plastic tub, covering it with a screen or plastic mesh. -Add vertical egg flats to give them hiding places, and to keep them up off of their droppings. -Keep your roaches warm (around 90°) and at least 60% humidity. Adult males will dehydrate rapidly through respiration from their wings. -A ceramic heat emitter or under tank heater can be used with a thermostat to maintain the temperature -Feed your roaches fruits and vegetables and grains. A commercial roach chow (e.g. Bug Burger) works well for providing their protein needs. Remove old vegetables at once! -Roaches can be given water in the form of water crystals to prevent drowning when not feeding Bug Burger.
