How Many Dubias?

[CamiGirl89]

Hello, everyone! So my chameleons seem to be loving their Dubias (ewww...), but my question is, how many a day should they be eating? I have heard that they are worth approx. 6 crickets, so does that mean to feed one roach a day? Both of my males are pigs, and think that they should have about 10+ roaches a day, but I know that this is not correct. Thank you for any insight!

I would recommend several smaller ones instead of one large. Most roaches are allot meatier than crickets but again it would depend on the size.

I have been feeding thumb-nail sized ones to them, and goodness to they love them. They are crunchy and juicy, and it cracks me up when they close their eyes momentarily and go "Mmmmm"

That's a good size for veileds and panthers IMO. 5 or 6 of those per feeding should be perfect just don't forget to add in some other feeders too.

Thanks, Jann! These things are gross... But a money saver!
