Can African Fat-Tailed Geckos Eat Turkestan Roaches?
Staple feeder — feed regularly
Quick answer
Yes. Turkestan Roaches is a staple feeder for African fat-tailed geckos. Excellent dubia alternative — similar nutritional profile, very similar Ca:P ratio, and arguably more active which triggers a better feeding response in some geckos.

Excellent dubia alternative — similar nutritional profile, very similar Ca:P ratio, and arguably more active which triggers a better feeding response in some geckos. Cannot climb smooth glass or plastic. Slightly smaller than dubias at equivalent nymph ages, making them good for smaller or younger geckos. Gut-loads well.
