What could be better than a box of giant roaches?

Dubia arrived today!!
It has been a long time since i have had an up close look at an insect as large as Blaptica dubia, and the first time i have ever had 50 arrive in a box from the post office!
I ordered from:http://www.aaronpauling.com/, 50 assorted size. I am completely satisfied with the order. All arrived safe and sound, from Arizona to Maryland. The size range is excellent (1/4"-4"). There are about 4 adult males, and 8 adult females, the majority are about feeder size.

Questions: how do you tell the sex of the juveniles?
Can i feed off some nymps, or will this disturb the breeding of the adults?

thanks!

The adults wont "care" but if you feed off many numphs you are reducing your future/next generation of breeders.

since you ordered such a small amount, i suggest not feeding for a couple months. unless you dont want a colony starting. but btw, my 100+ dubia came in today, and hopefully my other 500 will be here on friday, which i bought from a forum member. but all i have to say is that theyre better than a crix.

I only have 1.0 veiled (for now!), so i don't need quite that many. . .but should the need arise, could you describe how you store that many? do you separate them somehow?
