Can I get them to breed if not?** A: If your goal is to breed them, I would recommend buying adults. These babies will take around 5 to 6 months to reach adulthood, after which you should have around 250 females ready to breed. **Q: They arrived in a cup with a bag that had something in it. Is that food for the roaches?** A: The roaches are shipped with egg crates and roach chow. **Q: If they escape will they procreate and cause a problem in the home?** A: No,they will not. That's the only reason I allow them in my home lol. They have to have a specific amount of humidity/heat/food etc to have that problem. **Q: Are these shipped in a bag or a plastic container?** A: These are shipped in a cloth bag. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ shipper failed this seller with roughly handling of packages *by E***N on March 5, 2026* I was very happy with the mealworm and the un escaped roaches very healthy and lively probably got a good 400plus of the 500 order.

Quality Feeder Vendor. *by R***S on November 14, 2025* Received dubia roaches quickly and 99.9% survival rate out of 500 which is impressive. I will definitely be ordering more from vendor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! Fast delivery, all alive, great packaging! *by K***. on February 26, 2022* For the full review, keep scrolling. Tl;dr: Packaging was fantastic. Roaches were all alive. Fast delivery (even though they weren’t expected for over a week). Very pleased and will be ordering again! Full review: I purchased 500 small dubia for our juvenile bearded dragon and Five-lined skink. They both LOVE them. I placed my order on a Thursday. They weren’t expected to arrive until the following Tuesday or later… they arrived Saturday (just two days after being ordered!) They arrived in a box labeled “Live insects. Please keep out of cold.” I expected the roaches to be loose when I opened the box and, to my surprise, they were all contained in a cloth bag with food, egg cartons, and the bag was zip-tied shut to ensure there were no escapees. In the box was also a heat pack (since I ordered these in the cold month of February) along with packing peanuts for support. The packaging items can be seen in the attached image. I was extremely pleased with the packaging. Actual insects: I have only seen two dead roaches out of the entire order (WOW!). All roaches are the correct size (none far too big for my little reptiles). I’m not sure how many roaches I actually got, but I’m guessing there are more than 500 (please watch the short video I created). There are also a lot of Dubias hiding under the bottom egg cartons that I didn’t lift in the video. I had also already fed 25+ when I made the video. In the box was also a note regarding the LIVE GUARANTEE. It’s good to know that if for some reason they were to not survive in transit that there is a guarantee. Long story short, the price was fantastic, packaging was great, and the roaches are alive, active, and appear healthy! I will definitely continue to order through AAFeeders! ## Frequently Bought Together - Dubia Roaches 500 Small - 300 Medium Dubia Roaches in CUP - Adult Dubia Roaches 10 Females & 5 Males --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/366598121-500-small](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/366598121-500-small) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
