ghostorchid Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 So I just got an order of 100 female Dubia roaches and about 60 of them have strange malformed wings, maybe blisters. I have them quarantined from the rest of my colony so that I can figure out what this is exactly. Any help would be very much appreciated, wouldn’t want any mutated offspring of these. Should I flush or feed to beardie. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think that they should be OK for your beardie. Malformed wings is probably a husbandry issue from the person you got them from. Wouldn't hurt to wait a week or two before feeding from the new stock though if you are worried. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, you should probably find a new source when you buy dubias, as their colony is likely entirely malformed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostorchid Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Ditto that, I certainly will never use them again to buy from anymore. Thanks a lot guys, I fed a few to my beardie this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamid Ghuman Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 yeah i will buy some to feed but when pest control come in my home colony they spray to remove roaches from outside the home but the smell of the spray is so strong and the next morning i find all of them died in a cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
