Dubia as staple food?

[haksui]

I am planning on using Dubia roaches as my panther chameleon's staple food. Is there any concerns for doing this? I don't want to keep crickets in the house, that will drive my wife crazy. I have heard from other reptile owners that Dubia roaches are more nutritious than crickets.

As long as you gut load them, this improves their nutrition, however, you should really offer a variety of feeders to ensure they get a good variety of nutrients:
