I have about 40 extra male Dubia roaches and would love to trade them for some females, nymphs, or even crickets. I live in Boston and would rather not ship them. Thanx, Alex

I think one variable might be the size of the nymphs people are feeding. I would guess that allot of people are being cautious and feeding very small nymphs when they could be feeding ones that are a tad bit larger. Of course not exceeding the between the eye rules. I'm guessing that by mass and...

Boiling the rock should kill any parasites and if you haven't already you might want to get a fecal exam. Hope that helps.

I was a little but it's not a realistic fear. nothing on my bed is touching the ground that they could possibly climb up and not to mention that it's nearly impossible for them to get out of the Rubbermaid container. It took a night or two to forget about it :?

under my bed :)

ouch...ok that changes my calculations slightly. Maybe I'll buy another batch of mixed roaches :)

It would be the same as my 150watt heat lamp. Doesn't use more energy because it's an MVB. Just a different way of using that energy. Spot Heat Lamp 150 watt spot light/1000= .15 kW .15kW X 12 hours a day = 1.80kWh 19cets per kWh in Boston X 1.80kWh = $0.34/day

I don't want to even start to calculate the total cost of keeping a BD annually with everything included. I'd much prefer remaining oblivious to the dent she's putting in my bank account. :shock:

So I talked to Jason, TheRoachGuy. He says that 20 nymphs a day is about rite and that he suggests 100 females to to sustain a colony and feed a single dragon comfortably but guesses I can do it off 80. 50-60 to feed the dragon 20-30 to keep the colony going. Thanx again Jason...

So I just sexed and counted out my colony to see where I am at. As of rite now I have 80 nymphs which I didn't bother sexing, 43 females, and 47 males. I separated the 43 females into a separate container with 10 males. The container has holes in the bottom which I hope the nymphs will leave out...

Now I have to cancel by bearded dragon Christmas Rave :banghead: Hehe bearded robot dance, that's gonna make a great sig....On more serious not thanx I immediately took down the blinking lights from our living room.

just doing a quick search. I found this guys that gives free samples http://www.topline-2000.com/roach/oasis.html if you want to give it a try.

very interesting I was actually just going to post asking about Saphira's recent tendency to lick everything when outside her enclosure. Any references to where I can learn more about what they are able to process through these receptors?

I read recently that sticky/glue tape around the floor along the walls works well. maybe for a big room a strong scented food they like in the middle of some sticky tape. Like a peeled orange maybe. Haven't actually done this but it could work :P

I'm a new beardie member and until my Dubia colony gets going I have been faced with this same issue. I opened my first 1000 over the bath tub which worked ok but the loose ones were a pain gathering up and some got down the drain (1/4" crix) and started to crawl out later, will cover it next...

Appears that she/he is too young to definitively tell but there is a good sexing guide on the site here I don't know much about the diffrent morphs but appears to be sandfire to my very untrained eye. maybe some one can jump in with a more educated guess.

I ordered [ Invalid URL Removed / p= t=94618 f=2 ] and will only be using a little for my baby bearded just as a safety measure. If anyone would like the rest of it I figure we could split the cost. If anyone is interested just let me know. It cost me 32 so It would be 16. I would prefer doing...

For posting pics photobucket.com is very user friendly for uploading pictures. Then just copy the image URL into your text between the code that comes up when you hit the Img button....On another note.... I feel horrible for you guys north of Boston. I was on my way to Stratton to go...
