Small (0.25") Turkish Red Runner roaches are now available for nationwide delivery through MiceDirect's online store. These fast-breeding, high-activity insects are well-suited for micro geckos, small lizards, tarantulas, and other insectivores.

Cleveland, United States, December 1, 2025 -- MiceDirect has added to its inventory of feeder insects, which now features live quarter-inch Turkish red runner roaches, a fast-breeding, high-nutrition option valued as an affordable and nutrient-dense alternative to cicadas and dubia. Current pricing ranges from $94.97 to $109.99 for a 1000-count container, with multiple count options available to match household, breeder, and institutional needs.

Orders placed before 11 AM EST, Monday through Saturday, receive same-day processing and shipping to the lower 48 states. The live roaches—raised under strict quality controls in Cleveland, Georgia—are approximately 1/4 inch in size for consistent feeding. Their distinctive red color makes them easy to spot at feeding time, while their quick movement reliably stimulates hunting responses in reptiles and arachnids. As a non-burrowing, non-climbing, flightless species, red runners are straightforward to handle and monitor, explains a spokesperson for the store.

MiceDirect's husbandry protocols emphasize clean, professional environments, humane handling by trained staff, and a simple keeper-friendly care routine: fruit or raw potatoes for feed, and water crystals or a damp paper towel for hydration. Compared to crickets, red runners are hardier and produce less odor—attributes that support both home keepers and high-throughput facilities.

"Red runner Turkish roaches produced at our Cleveland facilities meet stringent quality controls designed around the needs of keepers and institutions," said a MiceDirect spokesperson. "After reviewing common reptile-feeding frustrations—poor activity, size variability, and inconsistent nutrition—we focused our program on reliable sizing, hygiene, and vigorous movement."

MiceDirect offers the option to freeze feeder insects: customers can freeze surplus roaches upon arrival to lock in their viability and nutrient profile and reduce odors. The store recommends thawing roaches 15 minutes before feeding time. Products ship in hygienic, ventilated packaging to maintain freshness and minimize transit stress.

Red runners are appreciated for their Vitamin B12, protein, and calcium content and are suitable for insectivores such as tarantulas, bearded dragons (juveniles), geckos, and leopard geckos. MiceDirect also offers red runner oothecae (egg cases) and multiple size ranges up to 1 inch to match species and growth stages.
