How do I feed dubia roaches to my pet?

The first thing you will need to do is dust the dubia roaches with calcium power. This helps correct their natural imbalance of calcium to phosphorus — the ideal Ca:P ratio is 2:1, and Ca:P ratio in dubia roaches is 1:3 to 1:4. It's easy to dust dubia roaches with calcium. Simply place the roaches in a paper or plastic bag with some calcium powder inside, and gently shake until they are lightly coated.

There are a few different ways to feed your pet dubia roaches. One way is to use a separate tank or feeding tub. Transfer your pet to this enclosure, release the dubia, and watch your pet hunt!

Alternatively, you can place the dubia in a feeding bowl or hand-feed with soft-tipped feeding tweezers. Note that dubia are able to climb out of most bowls, so it's a good idea to use an escape-proof feeder dish.
