BLAPTICA DUBIA Name: Dubia Roach, but sometimes referred to as the Argentine Roach, the Orange Spotted Roach or the Guyana Spotted Roach. Lifespan: 9-10 months for males, but females live longer, usually reaching 18 – 20 months. Temperature: +- (27°C) HOUSING Dubia Roaches should be housed in a ventilated plastic tub, preferably with a large surface area. Dubia Roaches do not climb well on smooth surfaces, so ensure that the sides of the tub are not textured. A RUB (really useful box), sandwich tub or old plastic biscuit tin are all fine. Air holes should be punched into the lid of the box for ventilation or alternatively cut a large section of the lid out with some sharp scissors and cover the hole with a fine mesh or a recycled pair of old tights (pantyhose). No substrate needs to be used, so this makes cleaning a more simple process.Dubia Roaches prefer the dark, so keeping them in a dark place is recommended. They will also require places to hide, so cardboard tubes or egg box bottoms placed in the tub will help them to feel secure. FEEDING Dubia Roaches are scavengers by nature, so will eat almost anything, but as you are going to be feeding them to your amphibians it is wise to feed them on foods that boost their nutritional value. Dry foods like oats, bran, dried dog/cat food and flaked fish food should always be readily available, but the addition of plenty of fresh vegetables regularly would give the feeder roaches a good diet. Variety is recommended, but potatoes and carrots are a favourite as well as fruits like banana and apple. All the food items should be chopped into small pieces to make them easier to consume by the roaches. There is no need to add water to the container, as they should be able to source all their water from their food, but if you do prefer to give them something to drink just add a damp sponge or slightly soaked cotton wool to avoid the roaches drowning in a water bowl. BREEDING Dubia Roaches become sexually mature at 6 months of age, so setting up a successful breeding colony is not a drawn out process time wise. Once mature, females will lay between 25-35 eggs every two months, so it is advised to keep your females for as long as possible and use them as prey items more sparingly than the males. Adult Dubia roaches are easy to sex as the females are larger than the males and only have buds, whereas males develop full wings. Unfortunately sexing nymphs is quite difficult as they only look dissimilar as they mature.
