Counting Dubia Roaches can be difficult and can lead to inaccurate results, which often results in unhappy customers! While we do offer an average count on our website, this does not account for any dead or undersized roaches that may have been included in the mix. Instead of counting, we actually weigh each bag of Dubia roaches before it ships out, which ensures that the customer gets exactly what they pay for every time!

Counting your dubia can be misleading


Many people are not aware that counting dubia is misleading. The problem with counting dubia is that they are not weighed as dead and undersized dubia can be heavier than a live dubia. For example, if you have 5 live dubias and 10 dead ones, you would only count 15, but the actual weight would be 20. This can lead to frustration when customers feel like they are being shorted on the number of insects they ordered.
