So i currently feed 3 of my geckos mealworms and the other 2 crickets as they wont eat meals, so i found a website that sell Dubia roaches and im wondering how many would you feed to a growing geckos ages are 6month-1year2month old geckos

Thanks jordan

When mine was growing she would scarf down 2-5 accordingly sized roaches a day.

Mine are fed one appropriately sized plump/gutloaded roach 2x per week. It's worth noting that they are all adults.

Thanks for the reply, there pretty pricey £2.49 for 15.
so crickets and mealworms will be cheaper and easier for me but thanks

My advice is to order enough to start a small colony, ~1-200 or so. I found this site where you can buy breeder packs for a reasonable price then you only have to maintain the colony and you'll have more roaches than you need (and can sell some off yourself).

Sure thing, just let your mom know that it is one small isolated bin that can be stored in the closet/other place that won't be often seen.
