Dubia colony starter

[mangospe127]

Anyone have any experience or advice on starting a dubia colony? Also, if it is better than crickets for food.

Thanks,

Dave

I've heard a lot of positive things about dubias over crix. I'm going to be receiveing my first bit tomorrow sometime. Can't wait!

They are super easy to raise, and dont stink. However, because they dont move like crickets, some of my chams dont go after them, especially when i cup feed.

wow im so glad!

honestly it took maybe only 2 weeks because only about 2 weeks ago i put them in a heated house. before they were just i room tempurate container. and they needed the heat to breed. they breed fast!! yay!

I love dubia because they don't smell and are hardy.

sorry, haha..
yeah they are great! for a few days i had to go back to crickets because i ran out of them, but now i have more babies
but i might wait alittle to feed them because they are too small.
