Hello,
So, I've very recently (as in today) started a dubia roach colony. When I bought the roaches online I specified that I wanted half females, half males but for some reason they only gave me like, 2 females, a bunch of males, and even more nymphs... I mean, they're fairly big, but it's not obvious if they're male or female yet.
I was wondering if I should buy more females for breeding purposes or wait for the nymphs to get older, because some of them could be females? Is there, like, a certain ratio of males to females you need to keep when starting a colony?
Thank you!
