toxic dubia food

[zxneon]

What foods can be toxic to dubias ? i have heard from reptile keepers that head lettuce or cabbage can be bad . But i do not know bad for what ... dubias or reptiles .
Also i have heard that tomatoes and cucumbers can be bad. Is it true ?
What veggies better to avoid ?

If that was the case then my dubia colony would be dead, I haven't experienced any negative results from any vegetables that I've fed my roaches.

I would disregard that info.

Well, most of those can can contain pesticides. I never feed my roaches fresh fruits and veggies that aren't peeled, mostly they just get oranges and bananas.

Also keep in mind, dubias eat about anything, and so do most cockroaches, plus they probably wouldn’t eat it if it was poisonous

Haven't had any issues with cabbage or lettuce. Just make sure you wash them really well before dropping them in the roach bin.
