Can a leo eat Dubias roches?
Can the leos take the roches feed?
And of course if the leos can take them is it a case not to feed the roches all the time?

Can fat tails take roches.

I an get small ones and I want to get a way from crickets. I have swiched most of my leos to worms.

Yes, they can eat dubia roaches.

I wouldn't probably feed full grown adults, not so much because they cannot eat them, but you want to keep full grown adults for breeding.
I wouldn't feed a leo that is less than 50 grams a full grown adult either.

You could feed your leos roaches all the time, yes.:main_yes:

I agree with all the points Chewbecca makes, but, your male roaches aren't actually producing nymphs, so just like in a harem of geckos, it is unnecessary to keep a 1:1 ratio of males to females. Feeding off some of your males is acceptable so long as their numbers do not dip so low as to make their stud services un-viable.

ooops, I meant to add that I feed off males.
My adult normals LOVE them and snatch them up SOOO fast.

Replace crickets

Anything you feed crickets you can replace with cockroaches. Feed off both males and females. People who are worried about it and only feed off males need to get a larger colony. Besides over time as the females get old and die you will have dead females anyways. Solution buy more cockroaches and get larger colonies.

Vootie and good day!
