Premium, high-protein staple feeders—the ultimate clean, quiet, and legal alternative to Dubia roaches for Canadian keepers.
Discoid Roaches (Blaberus discoidalis), commonly known as false Dubia roaches, are an exceptional staple feeder insect for a wide variety of reptiles and amphibians. Because Dubia roaches are restricted in Canada, Discoid roaches are the perfect legal solution, offering an almost identical, top-tier nutritional profile. They are packed with protein, easy to digest, and offer a fantastic meat-to-shell ratio.
- 100% Legal in Canada: Fully compliant with Canadian regulations and safe to keep.
- Keeper-Friendly: They cannot climb smooth glass or plastic, they cannot fly, and they are completely silent and odorless.
- Premium Nutrition: High in protein and essential moisture with a soft, easily digestible exoskeleton.
- Perfect For: Bearded dragons, leopard geckos, chameleons, monitors, skinks, and larger amphibians.
Description
Upgrade your exotic pet’s staple diet with our premium, farm-fresh Discoid Roaches. For hobbyists across Canada looking for a high-quality, robust feeder insect that mirrors the nutritional benefits of the Dubia roach, Discoids are the absolute gold standard.
The Ideal Canadian Staple
Discoid roaches are highly sought after because they provide excellent, meat-heavy nutrition. Unlike crickets, which can be high-maintenance and noisy, or mealworms, which have a high chitin content, Discoid roaches offer a soft, easily digestible body packed with lean protein. They stay alive and healthy for months with very basic care, making them incredibly cost-effective for keepers.
Why Choose Discoid Roaches?
- No Escapes: Discoid roaches lack the ability to climb smooth plastic or glass surfaces. They also do not fly, making them incredibly easy to contain during feeding time or while in storage.
- Low Stress for Your Pets: Unlike crickets, Discoid roaches will not chew on or harm your reptiles if left in the enclosure overnight. They are passive feeders that hide until hunted.
- Long-Lived and Robust: They are exceptionally hardy insects. They do not suffer from sudden die-offs and will thrive for a long time in your reptile room.
- Triggers Prey Drive: Their quick scurrying movements immediately grab the attention of active hunters like bearded dragons and monitors.
💡 Storage & Care Instructions
To keep your Discoid roaches thriving and nutrient-dense, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Housing: Store them in a deep plastic tote or glass aquarium. Provide vertical egg cartons for hiding spaces to maximize surface area. No substrate is required, keeping cleanup quick and easy.
- Temperature: For basic maintenance, keep them at a warm room temperature between 22°C and 28°C.
- Diet & Gut-Loading: Feed them a high-quality diet of fresh vegetables (such as carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes) along with a grain-based roach chow.
- Hydration: Always provide moisture through fresh vegetables or specialized water crystals/gels. Never use standing dishes of water, as the roaches can easily drown.
