Dubias in short supply?

[Killa J]

I can’t seem to find them in bulk right now. Is this just the time of year, or is there some dubia shortage out there?

I’m still trying to get my colony self sustaining, but I’m probably at least a month or 2 away from that. I have around 50 adults, and a good bit of dubia that are probably 1 molt away from adulthood. I’ve run through all of the 3/4” ones that I bought as feeders, so I’ve got a bunch of tiny ones and a bunch that are too big.

Should I buy a bunch of mealworms to use for the next month or so?

No meal worms for a staple please --- try some crickets BSFL or silk worms are all good staple feeders

I was looking at dubiaroaches.com and dubiaroachdepot.com. I had been getting mine from them, and neither place has them in stock other than small quantities. I’ll check out the other places you listed.
