Argentine cockroach (Blaptica dubia)

Argentine cockroaches (Blaptica dubia) are live feed for breeders of reptiles, amphibians, tarantulas, ants and other insectivorous animals. Available in several sizes, they allow you to match the size of the insect to the feeding requirements of a particular animal, whether it be the youngest or larger specimens.

• Ready to feed – the insects are dispatched with a food supply, are not starved, and can be fed immediately upon receipt.

• Wide range of uses – suitable for reptiles, amphibians, tarantulas and ants.

• Part of a varied diet – they can be used regularly to supplement the diet of many insectivorous species.
