Hmmm at least 50 adult females will produce roughly 1250 a month if each has 25 babies (normally between 20 and 30) so if you think a growing beardie eats 50 babies a day in one month it would eat 1500 a month. So you would have to leave your colony around 6 months for those 1250 to turn into...

Ah yes I remember the order! :) I am getting very used to packaging those things up now! and thank you! Ah I never seem to get enough in reserve for the large breeding packs however the small and mediums are available at the moment :D

hey! Yep we sell in the UK :) And no they dont smell, well that is to say the roaches dont, but whatever food you place in there does... i.e. if you use dog food, your tubs will smell of that!

Lol thank you! She likes sticking her tongue out at me alot!

Hi All, I just wanted to share a quick (well 4min) clip of Nim at feeding time today. Due to all the advice I have received form this site and its members she now is into her veggies! Oh and Roaches too... anyhow here is the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhPwT-JojJI thanks all

At the moment you can definately tell which has the most in just by lifting them! There are thousands in one and...

Ahh ok, I just went down and got some Apricot, butternut squash and chicken paste... will see if she licks this off her snout today, though hopefully she has eaten the roaches I left in there for her... I have just been readding on the infectious diseases section and there is alot of info on...

also make sure your transformer is the correct wattage for this size tube

Yoou could try mealworm colony, they are a bit of a pain but they are not 'roaches'... there is also the Fruit Grubs, which come from the sun beetle. These are easy to keep but the grubs have a mean streak to them! Also locusts though i am not sure you will be able to get them in the US...
