[sandrachameleon]

what else are you offering?
how warm are you keeping them?

 

[maxttu]

Yes, what other foods are you offering? My dubs and hissers eat everything! Carrots, kale, oranges, bananas, bugburger and a dry gutload from the LPS...

My dubia love oranges and clementines! They hate potato and they will eat banana but seem to not enjoy it as much. I put in half a clementine the other day and they ate it by the time I woke up the next morning lol also make sure you have enough heat, between 85-90 degrees. They are more active when it is warmer and they breed faster when the temp is right. A lot of people on the forum say that oranges seem to help them breed. Not sure if that is fact or fiction there.

Oranges do "seem" to kick them in gear! And they <3 it!

i did attach a heating pad to their tank, but i am guessing its not enough heat. i give them lettuce,beets, apples, banana, oranges, carrots,bell pepper ( they don't seem to like it thou) peaches. i wanna start giving them cactus and green beans
