Could you post a pic of her? How old is she and how long have you had her?

You can! Just substitute with dubias!

I don't feed crickets at all. Can't stand them. I feed dubia, silk worms, and hornworms for a treat.

The reason I don't like crickets is they will get out and I'm in my house I want something I can contain in a dish. My husband would freak if he saw a roach in our house he shot down crickets

I did but, a lot of people said you can substitute for different kind of works. Like Phoenix worms and as long as you do a mixture of different ones then you will be good. Just wanted to see what people said on this thread

It best to give them crickets, but I understand how you don't want them to get out. When you take them out their cage, put them in something that has walls they can't jump over quickly can't jump over. That's what I do.

 

[alphakenc]

Great n that will be the solution for ur cham....keywords "variety nutritions" which u already know.

Dubia roaches can't climb glass or most slippery plastic. Dubia don't fly either.

So in theory I could put them in a high walled dish!

Yes, that's exactly right...
I'm using a DIY cupfeeder with the wall of just little higher as the length of the dubia I feed but you could just use a cup or bowl with 'slippery' sides.
