You kidding? Everything likes roaches! Go to the classifieds here on the boards and you will have no problem finding about any type of feader roach you could imagine. I prefer lobster roaches, they are perfect sized for just about everything i have and are very meaty. Also they multiply very quickly so you can start a colony for cheap. The only down side to lobsters is they can climb glass, this is very easily cured by putting a bead of petroleum jelly along the side of the enclosure near the top, they never cross it. Good luck...

beardies
i personally have 14 varieties of roach .have only gotten rid of two because of the potential to become pests,and the lobsters were on top of that list,with lateralis being a close second.wouldn't advise keeping either.i feed my beardies dubia's,fusca's,discoids,prosticus,distanti's.lobsters breed well but stay too small to properly fill a bearded dragon easy.you would have to feed heavy,meaning a huge colony,meaning even more potential for infestation.if you only get one feeder make it dubia,i would say discoids but they take much longer to establish a good sized colony

I would say b.dubia is the best kind. we feed them to my beardie and she goes nuts for them! they are soft, and meaty too, and easy to keep a colony of them. If you want any, my mom Rochelle sells them real cheap. I'll gladly pack some up for you!
