I have adults, sub adults and baby dragons, I was feeding them lobster roaches and they were not doing to well on those. I then changed them to dubias and discoids and they go crazy over them everytime i get ready to feed them. Which roaches would you recommend feeding adults, sub adults and baby dragons besides lobster roaches? I was thinking about feeding my babies Blatta Lateralis aka rusty reds or red racers and my adults and sub adults hissers or Blaberus fusca or Sowbugs. What do you think about that?

Lobsters, dubias or turks are all good feeders.

i would stay away from the hissers because the shell on them is extremely thick and they get huge.
dubias are my roach of choice as they are slower moving then most and cant climb or fly.

i personally like the turks as the breed fast, dont climb or fly nd have bright colors that attract my dragons...they are pretty quick moving but it only makes my dragons want them more

I have all three, Dubia, turk and lobster.  I fed my 8 week olds on them and since that is all the prey insects I had, they ate, and now at 4 months old, they are eating around 1K a month easy !
