I bought 50 BLAPTICA DUBIA roaches from Mulberry Farms with my regular silkworm order on your prompting. These things are huge! About 1 1/2" long and fat. These are OK for adult dragons?

how big are they? most full grown adult dubia are 2 inch in length or so. yea they are fine for adult beardies, they can chew em with no problem, they are soft bodied as well so easy to chew and digest. i questioned the size as well when i first saw them but many breeders told me it was fine and they used them so i did and i have had no problems at all. but dubia is as big as i go for dragons, i stay away from the 4 inch giant hissers

They are 1 and a half inches. I fed 2 to my smaller female and she loved them but of course she loves all food as she is gravid. Ate 35 crickets this am. My male won't eat crickets at all anymore. But of course he won't even try hornworms, barely eats silkworms, and won't eat phoenix worms. He only eats superworms. lol. So i went with your idea that he was bored with crickets. Well, another failure. He has no interest in the roaches either. lol.
