Red runners vs dubia

Which is better? Cousin heard that red runner are better I just want to see what you guys think?

I will say that they are both valuable. The truth is that you need to provide as varied diet as possible and both species of roaches are easy to raise. I feed red runners once a week and dubias once a weekas well as other insects on other days.

The dubias are certainly filing but the chameleons really like the quick movements of the red runners.

Again, go with both.

Can red runners climb?

I would do some research on red runners. I decided against them because they can escape and cause infestation. I didn't want to risk it after reading horror stories.

They climb, run, breed, show up to dinner 4 years after eradication.

My wife is finally at peace with my dubia colony.. if I brought red runners into the house it'd be a one way trip to the couch. Only way you should do that is if you have a shed or something you plan to keep them in, or some other way they aren't inside your home. I wouldn't bring red runners within 20 feet of my house.

+1 on that. I used them for a few months. Years later after the coldest winters I remember (last winter was 25 below zero f with windchill) and I still find them under a bag of mulch lying on my gravel driveway this summer, under rocks, etc.

I just feel lucky I never brought them into my home.
