Crested Gecko Food for Dubia Roaches?

[LegendaryValky]

Has anyone tried feeding it to their Dubia? I'm thinking about trying it, what are your thoughts, and do you think I should try dry or wet? I'm leaning towards wet just to save me a few vegetables 'til later.

It's all about the %s. Dubias need a high protein % and lower carbohydrate profile. I feed organic chicken starter which is 26% protein and 16% carbohydrates. I bump the protein up further with organic powdered milk. I'm aiming for 32% protein.

Since switching from mealworms to dubias my gecko has gotten a lot more muscular and less fat (mind you she's 8 years old). She's also more energetic

I don't think it would hurt them and might even work but it sounds like it would be super expensive as compared to most available roach diets. My roaches eat a lot.

I tried a bit to start, they took to it well. The reason I asked is because I used a pre made crested gecko kit for my Tokay, and have no use for the CGD that came with it.
