Is it better to purchase dubia roaches by the pound vs number counts? dubias from 1inch to 1.5inch...? or is it better by the number? I want the most bang for my buck. As many dubias as possible so I never ever run out. I also live in a cold area and its cold rn.

Open to suggestions.

Any websites you guys recommend? anyone you would recommend that wont rip me off?

P.s. I will not use paypal. At all, in any shape or form.

Number count is better, the size depends on what you're feeding, you can start a colony with twelve individuals, and the cold shouldn't matter because you should be keeping them indoors and the place you purchase from should use caution when shipping.

Cape Cod Roaches, Roach Crossing (which is maybe dead), online classifieds. Offline, many exotic pet stores that sell reptiles, birds, or arthropods carry dubias. That may be a bit less risky with casualties given the weather.

That's a terrible policy if you want to buy things online.

I agree with @VolkswagenBug.

Thankfully many members/stores will allow you to send money through other services, but you may find yourself limited in how many places you can order from.

Thanks,
