    Default Re: best feeder?

    Thanks for adding those! That's true, in many ways. Turkestan Roaches grow and breed faster than Dubias, cannot climb smooth surfaces the same as dubias, and unlike Dubias do not burrow. Turkestans move much faster than Dubias, which is one reason I opted for Dubias-They're a very calm insect, and easy to handle. Often I don't even use containers to move them, and simply let them hang out on my arm/hand on the way to being fed to frogs. The main reason I went with Dubias is I couldn't find Turkistan Roaches available locally. Personally I cannot order online, so I ended up with Dubias. While in some ways inferior to Turkestans, I would still recommend Dubias in a heartbeat, but likely would have opted for the Turkestans had they been available. Lobster Roaches, on the other hand I hesitate to recommend, as they can climb almost anything, which for me was a deal breaker. I had my Dubias in a bin that wasn't smooth enough at one point,and had to apply petroleum jelly near the top. I managed to accidentally smear the stuff onto my arm a bunch of times. I wouldn't put Lobster Roaches into the "easy" category, but that's really just an opinion. Either way, thanks for adding these, I definitely agree on the recommendation of Turkestans.
