What is a Lobster Roach?
Lobster Roaches (Nauphoeta cinerea) are highly prolific, soft-bodied feeder insects. They are prized by keepers for their excellent nutritional profile and their ability to trigger a strong feeding response in almost any insectivore.
- Lobster Roaches are incredibly fast-moving, making them an irresistible target for active predators like Bearded Dragons, Monitors, and Chameleons.
- They boast a superior meat-to-shell ratio compared to crickets, providing more usable protein and essential minerals per feeding.
