You know they're really not that bad! We got some a couple of weeks ago and were not looking forward to it at all (apart from the benefits to our Cham). Well I got home and looked at them and was like "is that it???" mind you our ones are only about 10mm. My only beef is she won't eat them out of the cup and they always run away! Just have to encourage them to go up instead if down lol

Ye but dubias don't stink and that is priceless!

 

[Psychobunny]

That's funny!
Dubias were on our own dinner menu tonight!

Today's special = gourmet softshell la cookaratha el tartar un Repashy'

Yep and they are rather clean too My dubia colony doesn't smell at all and due to the nymphs eating the molts and feces, it doesn't have much mess in it either!

They don't climb so that helps

Save the freak out for something worth freaking out over. They are, after all, only bugs and no problem if properly housed.

Yea they are really good feeders I've heard but my chams are picky they eat what they like and they didn't seem to like them but I didn't give it a very good chance just give them what they want

https://www.chameleonforums.com/start-my-dubia-colony-86727/ Reptilover and I got the roaches from the same guy (maxttu) so they look exactly the same as his did. Same box, etc. Very healthy, I found none dead in mine!

Depends. I just got some dubia nymphs cost around 25 cents each. Cheaper if larger order. That is post paid too! But figure that each one replaces 5-7 cricks at 10 cents each...

That's really expensive! But over here they are 50 cents each... I can hook you up with a guy who sells a dime a dozen.

25c for dubia nymphs is high? You just said they were 50c there???

25c is high, so is 50c obviously lol. I think anywhere above 20c a feeder is expensive. Do you want me to hook you up with that guy?
