Hey y'all, I'm starting a dubia colony around next week when my package comes, and I've been ordering more dubias to go along with it. I got the large adult starter from theroachguy.com and it comes with 75 M-L dubi's. Along with that, I'm purchasing 100 3/4", 100 1/2", 100 5/8", and 100 1"+ mixed with adults, from dubideli.com and dubiaroaches.com. I'll have around 475 dubias or more along with 10 females and 5 males that the kit is giving me. BUUUUUUTTTTTTT, I've also heard that it could take a while with the less females you have, and of course I know more females to males for a ratio. So, along with 10 females, I also ordered 15 more females, so 25 in total. Along with 3 more males. Is that good enough to quickly start a colony? Thanks!!

It still may take a while but having the adults will make things quicker. I ordered a mix pack of around 500-600 roaches (no adults) one september and the second generation was all over by February. That may be knocked down to 2-3 months with adults in the mix. I've read that an adult can produce up to around 40 babies per month. It's good you're getting a mix pack so that there will be multiple generations staggered. In my thinking that will make the colony stronger from the start.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
