What do you think would be a reasonable price (not including shipping) for an established breeding colony of 1,000 dubia?

What about just 1k mixed nymphs (mostly on the larger side)?

My advice is check the online dubia vendors and then price accordingly depending how fast you need to get rid of them. I personally just sell my surplus on Craigslist for 100 any size for $15 and adult females for $1 each. I only do local meeting as I don't want to mess around with shipping and all that fiasco.

I have looked around online, but only found 2 places that sold in that quantity, and then it was only nymphs, not including breeding adults.

You check places like Dubi Deli, BuyDubiaroaches.com, Kimbrell's Cold Blood? Those are the 3 that come to mind. I guess it really boils down to how fast you want to move them and how much you feel they are worth to you. Like I said, I just sell mine for $15 per 100 any size and $1 for females on my local Craigslist. Even at that price I sometimes get undercut by other people doing $10 for 100. Again I guess it boils down do you want to get rid of them for something or keep feeding your surplus which in my case got expensive as they just destroyed anything I put in the bin.

I got a large group of mixed roaches from AB Dragons for $64 shipped back in September. Was enough to get a colony started without feeding off more than a few of them.

I can second ABDragons. I usually purchase them through Amazon. My most recent order just came in: 2000 small nymphs for $100.00 plus $7.99 shipping. It's freezing cold in my area so the seller directed the post office to hold for pick-up, even without any intervention from me. They've done right by me and will continue to get my business until my fledgling colony can support itself.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
