How many dubias?

Hi everyone! I was thinking about switching Ziggy over to dubia roaches she is 7 almost 8 months now and I have no idea how many to feed her or how many to buy. Currently, I'm giving her 20 crickets in the morning with a salad and 20 crickets at night with a salad so a total of 40 crickets and 2 salads a day. Her salads consist of dark greens and fruit or another veggie. I'm just confused with the feedings still a little bit so any help is appreciated.

We just started dubias a few weeks ago and are giving our 6 mo old about 10/day. I don't think it's enough though, so we're going to bump it up a bit.

He should eat as many in a 10-15 minute time frame but make sure hes eating his salads too NOT just bugs --- you can feed him worms as well for a balanced diet --- super horn butter and silk worms -- the silk worms are another staple feeder --- so w/ all that given to him he should have a balanced diet - if you need websites for worms let me know I will post them

Thats good to know. My babygirl is a big eater and I was wondering a good number to feed her but I guess the 10 to 15 minutes of just eating however much she wants is a good idea.

yes if shes eating them thats great --- the more greens the better she wont get fat on salads - she does need the protein too but its great shes eating that much-- I wish they all were that way

I just don't do that with ours because she will overeat.

She just loves food so much lol! Her fav greens are kale and mustard greens she also really likes blueberries

Limit the blueberries they are high in sugar and we dont want her to get diabetes-- all fruit should be fed occasionally since it has high sugar content- here is a website for nutrition ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html have you offered her any type of worms?

I give her blueberries about 4 times a week only in one salad and to be honest she really does not like sweets so I guess that's good. Ive given her mealworms and hornworms as special treats. I have to say thankfully she's not picky with feeders.

Ok the 4 times a week is actually too much I would cut it down to once a week - you can give her butter worms super worms and silk worms - the silk are a good staple feeder - if you need websites to get them from let me know I can post some for you

Thank you! I ordered dubias and until they get here I have supers and wax worms to feed her how many a day should I feed her of those worms until the Dubias arrive?

Wax worms very little- they are very fatty and if fed too much or too often can cause liver issues--- supers 1-3 per day-- feed her lots of salads till you get the dubias--- have you gotten her any silk worms? You can get her butter worms- they are a good worm to feed regularly - horn worms as well they are a good hydrating worm--
