I have an adult bearded dragon and a colony of Blaptica Dubia. How many adult Dubias does your bearded dragon eat at a time? And how often do they eat? Mine eats veggies and I give him about 7 adults every 2 days. I was just wondering how that compared.

I have a large Dubia colony in a 30 gallon Rubbermaid. It was in the garage and would get some condensation on the inside when it started getting cold out. Around November (in NC) it was moved inside. I noticed continual condensation. It was mainly on the side with the egg crates. I found...

I have a bearded dragon and a colony of dubias. I am interested in getting more reptiles. What else would people recommend, that could use my dubias as a food source? The breaded dragon is my first reptile, so I am looking for something easy. Chameleons are nice and should eat dubias, but...

I have a colony of Dubias cranking along and would like a good device for chopping up dry dog food. Currently I have been using my wifes heirloom (old) food processor. But the hardness of the dog food is messing it up some. Some of the kibble is kind of soft. When I use a slap chop, the soft...

I have a colony of Dubias which has been growing since Memorial Day. Thus far I have just been feeding an occasional adult male. I think I can start feeding off the colony now. But it pains me to feed an adult female. Should I feed off just large nymphs and not worry about it? Should I only...

I have been buying crickets 70 at a time for $0.11 each from the local pet store. A coworkers says he buys a box of 1,000 crickets for $15 from a different pet store. So I buy a tub, cut in vent holes and buy them. But how to I get them in the tub? I cut one side off the box and dumped...

My dragon lives on a staple of live crickets and veggies. We have a developing dubia colony. To get him more accustomed to me, I have been using mealworms as bait to draw him out. I use them to lure him onto my hand. Then I use them to lure him back to me if wanders too far on the floor. I...

I am starting a colony of Dubias, but they are a month or 2 from being my primary feeders. I have been buying crickets 50-70 at a time at the local pet store for $0.10 each. Another local pet store sells 1,000 crickets for like $15-20. I would like to buy the larger batch of crickets. But I...

We bought a bearded dragon in February for my 9 yo son. It has since essentially become mine, as I suspected it would. It still does not like to be picked up. I would like to hear the specific steps we can do to get him more socialable. When we pick him up up, he runs with his legs and...

On Memorial day weekend I bought 200 mixed sized dubias and 4-5 additional adult females with a couple adults males. Thus far I have found no newborn babies. I would like any advice on what to try, as I think I am doing everything right. I have been reading this forum for the last couple...

Can I house pet store bought crickets with Dubias for a week or 2 before feeding? My Dubias live in the garage. The crickets live in my sons room, next to the dragon tank. It would be more convenient to put Dubias of the appropriate size in the cricket tank. There would be water crystals and...

Our 5 month old bearded dragon escaped his aquarium. I left the lid open, as I do all the time, and he left within about 30 minutes. Any ideas about the kind of places they like to hide? His tank is in the room of a 9 yo boy, though the room has been recently cleaned so it is not a total...

I am buying some Dubias to start a colony. I found a local person to get them from. Now I am looking for supplies for their new home. I would like to buy locally and avoid shipping fees. What kind of stores sell the paper egg crate flats? I was thinking of calling pet stores, but I find it...
