I have a big phobia of bugs, well.. I did that is…until I was asked to take on Nermy, my 4 yr old Leo. I have a lot of animals but my 1st lizard due to my fear of insects and worms! Dubai 🪳 are the best of the variety of feeders I have tried in the few months I have had Nermy. He loves them and is a good eater. They are expensive tho considering my fish hobby and other pets. They all eat whatever I research and find to be the best. I like that his 💩 isn’t as potent as with crickets and 🪳 are easier contained. Dubai Deli packaged and sent me a nice colony of 🪳 I am satisfied with the starter set up. All were alive. I had some die off and I imagine to my fault! Maybe this sounds crazy but I feel even with the die off it has grown in a few weeks. I don’t plan to feed from them for a yr and am a fish keeper so I know how patience pays off. I always review when it comes to my pets bc I read them and it helps me so I like to return the favor. The only thing I would add with shipping would be instructions on everything. I know you can watch videos etc but it would be nice to know this info from the seller. Other than that I have struggled with my personal breeding project. I just moved into a larger 22 gallon tub(unsure of previous size but felt too small) I use the water crystals but found drowning I think 🤔 and smelly tub which I clean food out every other day amongst dead 🪳 I am gonna research more bc I feel maybe I could do something about the smell and deaths seem too many too frequently. Dubai Deli sent extras and a wide variety. Not gonna pretend I counted them bc I had a hard enough time taking this project on and not a fan of picking them up.. yet!! I will get over it like I have with feeding Nermy! Thanks Dubai Deli. I will recommend and be making future purchases!
My Flashy is growing like a weed right before my eyes I decided to start her a dubia roach colony for her future food . I ordered the starter colony with hope of adding . I also ordered extra . My starter colony was bigger then I thought They sent extra just in case some died good thing because i lost 5 females and 2 males in transit but had plenty to start the colony. Thank you DubiDeli
I’m new at this breeding,I don't have to be an expert or have experience breeding dubias to recognize the quality,I’m satisfied the quality is perfect.I will buy dubias again from Dubi Deli.
All bug were alive and well. Looking forward to getting my colony started.
The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. They were quick to respond to my questions and issues and the product was packaged beautifully and very organized. Everything was provided to help me thrive.
Starter colony 1 was huge! Definitely set up for breeding with lots.of adults. Terrific that they included a couple types of food and hydration gel, but they omitted instructions. Nothing available on the website either. I see others have provided similar feedback so I'm disappointed thar this oversight hasn't been addressed. Otherwise, very good value
I ordered this starter colony to become a self sustaining food source for my rescued bearded dragon, I had already purchased about 80 roaches before this, (small and medium) not really knowing how fast they grow, my guy is eating mediums and it seemed after the first couple of feedings that the smalls would not grow as fast as I thought so I was going to have to place another order.
I decided to go with the colony as it comes with a variety of sizes and also the adults I need to produce more roaches.
The kit came with everything I needed (aside from the actual container) to set me up for success. The bugs came packaged in a breathable mesh bag, also in the kit was egg cartons, roach chow, bee pollen, and water crystals, to ensure that these roaches can stay hydrated and gut loaded when the time comes for them to become the meal!
The bugs themselves are good sized and plump, showing great potential for the generations to come!
I live in west Texas so we have 2 seasons, about a month or 2 of cold/ mild weather and 10 months of hot. With The heat and travel combo, I expected to have a couple losses, and there was, however Dubia Deli pre plans for this, and sends successors of each ordered size so the order is always the amount ordered or greater!
Over all I am very happy with my decision to purchase this starter colony, and the company I decided to go with. And although if everything goes to plan, I shouldn’t need a roach order for a while, I still plan on making monthly orders of the other bugs I feed, but are not yet wanting to breed 😂.
I ordered a roach colony starter kit and the quality of the insects is amazing! We got our bearded dragon about a month ago and it has been hard to find a reliable source for Dubais—we ordered from two other websites and both times our shipments were delayed and the insects arrived either dead or in poor condition. The Dubias we received from DubiDeli were packaged well, arrived sooner than expected and the roaches were all very lively and healthy looking. The starter colony I ordered comes with about 135 roaches, and while I did not count the roaches I received it seems like they threw in a lot of extras.
I hope my colony takes off and I don’t have to order anymore Dubias, but I will definitely use DubiDeli to order any other insects I need.
My order came in alive and moving! These doobies are healthy and big! Had a large amount of all sizes arrive and though it was below 30 degrees, they were lively! Can’t wait to see what it grows into!
Healthy insects, nice supplies, no instructions or at least a QR code to a video, which would have been helpful since this is my first time creating a set up and others probably have had the same experience. There were no instructions for the hydration ratio for the moisture gel.
Dubia Roach: Starter Colony 1
I just wish there were some type of instructions that came with it or available on the site but I can’t seem to find anything
This was my first time starting a colony the bugs were all alive and heathy, came with food, bee pollen and salt rocks. I wish it had ideas or instructions for starting but I looked online for ideas.
Perfect colony starter!
First time trying to have a dubia colony, but so far so good. They came well packaged and shipped quickly. Originally estimated to come 3 days after ordering but ended up arriving day 5. Some were dead, but they send extras of each so no worries. The food and water crystals are nice to have to ensure we have all the basics. We were able to hydrate the ~1 oz of water crystals in a gallon of water. Had no clue they could soak up so much water! Thanks!
Hreat service. Ordered 8 adult female dubia and received 12. All alive and healthy.
The colony is doing wonderfully, breeding well and growing. My Two Bearded Dragons are enjoying the food that comes from this. It was also very much worth the price paid
This was my first time ordering from this company. I am very pleased. Everything arrived fast, alive and health. Will order from here in the future.
Recently ordered from Dubia deli and all the way from CA to Georgia they came right to me and everything was very healthy and ready to go!
Arrived huge and ready to mingle appreciate the huge roaches with few casualties
Dubia Roach: Starter Colony 1
Ordered this setup for my first Dubia colony, and it came super fast! A lot more roaches than I thought there'd be, with very few casualties. You can really tell these ones are more juicy than others!
The roaches arrived mostly alive a few dead though they were loose in a cotton bag wish they were in a different container for shipping.
Perfect!!!
Came with in great time but about 25% were dead on arrival, I’m not sure if it was a weather thing or what. But not very happy to say the least.
I received my Dubai some were dead but I understood because heat wise and they replace them and I was amazed by how many they sent us and they were well my husband picked them up from the post office They are definitely a great company that cares!!! Thank you!!
Very few dead bugs. Everyone was moving and happy. First time I’ve ever ordered bugs like this and I was super pleased with packaging
Came in on time and all roaches alive
I have been in need of this for a while and dubideli made it happen without a single issue. There were literally 2 casualties and I’m not so sure one was just a molt. The transportation was perfect received within two days and all parts were included. Thank you dubideli you made my scaled friends very happy and I will be back for other goodies
