Hi Friend,
Rumors abound in the reptile world. Here's one:
"Dubia roaches cause gout."
Actually, yes AND no.
Here's what the science says:
It all depends on how they're fed.
😟 Feeding dubia roaches the wrong diet has been correlated to gout in bearded dragons and other reptiles.
😎 Properly fed dubias as part of a balanced reptile diet will not contribute to gout.
If you'd like to know why this is—plus 4 practical tips to help you avoid gout in your reptiles—read more here.

P.S. We are still recovering from this summer's unanticipated high sales volume. Thank you for your patience as we build our colonies back up.
P.P.S. 😀 Our inventory has just been updated. Quantities on larger sizes are still very limited so it's a situation of first come first serve. (We expect to be back up to full production by the end of the year, thank goodness!)
