My chams won't eat dubias...

...I bought two weeks ago at the NARBC in Anaheim, and I think they are breeding like mad. I also have a pair of Leopard Geckos, but they ignored them as well. Does anyone ever had this problem?...

Some chams ignore them since they don't move a whole lot. If your cham hand feeds I suggest holding the roach by the butt with the legs facing your cham. The roach will kick its legs trying to move and that should catch your chams attention. It worked for me, and now he eats them out of his food dish. Good luck!

Dubias are great feeders if you chams take to them, but I have found blatta lateralis are favored much more, so if you can get your hands on them, I would give them a shot.

Yeah , i agree lateralis are great just be carefull they are fast! if one gets out good luck catching it. For that reason i would recomend only cup feeding lateralis. (and make sure they cant get out of the cup)

Try smaller roaches and work your way up.
