Dubia roaches

Hi I fed my panther Cham some dubia roaches this morning and 2 escaped in his viv. Will they hurt him , breed in there ect? Thank you

Dubias will go under things and / or bury themselves. I feed them and have never had an issue... That said, you can place fruit in a shallow tray and leave it near the bottom of the tank... Wait for the lights to have been out for an hour or so and check to see if the dubia are out feeding. That would be the best way to catch them. If you can't catch them, just leave to veggies / fruit down low in the cage and they will feed on that vs. going after your chameleon.

I only free range feed males, to prevent breeding in my enclosure. Most homes won't support them, but my chameleons reside in my plant room and it's very warm and humid, so there's a possibility of them surviving here. They are not going to attack the chameleons, though. No worries there.

No success in catching them so they will have to stay in there. He might find them
