Josh's Frogs 1/2"–3/4" Medium Dubia Roaches

Why it is listed

Josh’s Frogs medium dubia is the only captured live SKU that names USDA interstate permits and a Hawaii ban in addition to AL/FL. It loses quality points because this product page has no protein table.

Pros & cons

Pros

• joshsfrogs.com medium Dubia PDP 2026-09-02: 1/2"–3/4" Medium Dubia Roaches (Blaptica dubia). Counts and USD printed: 25 $6.99; 50 $10.99; 100 $14.99; 250 $29.99; 500 $54.99; 1000 $89.99. Sorted by hole size then packed by weight; company says they weigh in the buyer’s favor.
• Josh’s Frogs states it has USDA permits to legally ship dubia across most state lines; a copy is available by email; a USDA do-not-release flier is included. Restricted states on the 100-count child SKU: AL, FL, HI. U.S. destinations only.
• Live Arrival Guarantee on the 100-count page: Next Day temps −40 to 120°F; Two Day −20 to 120°F; Ground 0 to 100°F. Most orders before 2pm ET on business days ship same day. Named as a large feeder for bearded dragons, chameleons, leopard geckos, fat-tailed geckos, spiders, and similarly sized insectivores.

Cons

• This PDP does not print a numeric protein/fat table (unlike Fluker’s dubia page). ‘Nutritious’ is marketing without a panel here.
• Cannot ship to Alabama, Florida, or Hawaii. Dubia may arrive with buffalo beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus); the company says they are colony cleaners, not a defect.
• Size and count vary slightly because packing is by weight. Live-arrival temperature bands still apply — Ground is the strictest (0–100°F).
