Fluker's Live Dubia Roaches

Why it is listed

Fluker’s Live Dubia Roaches are a U.S. farm SKU with a printed scientific name, a literature protein table on the product page, size and count options, a live-arrival policy, and an explicit Alabama/Florida ship ban. Ranked first among captured live feeders because the PDP is the only live-insect page in this pass that publishes numeric protein.

Cons

• Dubia roaches cannot be shipped to Alabama or Florida (printed on the PDP). Check state law before ordering.
• Protein/fat figures are cited from literature on the PDP (dry-matter vs as-fed is flagged by Cerreta et al. 2021). We did not independently assay the cups.
• Live insects are weather-sensitive. Extreme-cold SWG waives the live guarantee. We are not veterinarians.
