    SUPER BLACK crickets. ??

    So I went to my usual cricket buying place recently (Danny's been getting tired of dubia) and the large were normal colored but the medium sized ones were VERY black. I wondered about this but bought some anyway. But now they're growing and staying super black. I'm looking at one right now...

    Would Anyone be Kind Enough to Tell Me How to Ship?

    Hi all! I only have one bearded dragon, and a few day geckos. So my dubia colony has gotten out of control!! I'm selling some on craigslist, but if I could ship I know I'd be able to sell a lot more and reach a wider audience. But I've never shipped Anything living. Would anyone be willing...

    Does Anyone Use A Hammock As A Basking Spot?

    Hi all! So lately my girl Daenarys just will not hang out on her basking platform. Like at all. She just wants to spend all day in her hammock. Her platform is usually around 104 - 108 so I don't think it's because it's too hot, I think maybe she just like the soft feel of her hammock more...

    Only Eats White bugs??

    I don't remember exactly how it happened, but one day I wound up giving Danny one of the freshly molted (white) dubias along with the regular ones. She loved it. But now she's really stubborn about eating the regular ones! If it's a white dubia she'll go for it like it was crack candy, no...

    Beardie not basking enough for digestion?

    I keep seeing little bits of dubia that are undigested within my dragon's huge poos!! A few wings, the head shell parts, etc. She eats 3 - 5 adults about every other day, and I've been noticing this for a little while now. Her basking spot is a homemade platform and ranges between 104 - 109...

    Ants In My Dubia Bin! What Do I Do??

    Hello all you helpful people! Well, as it says, I have ants in my dubia colony/bin! How do I get them out?? I need to do a cleaning and inventory on my dubia anyway, but I'm worried that some of the ants will get in with the babies or something, and will wind up being in the newly cleaned bin...

    Anyone Else Experience Escaping Dubia? (Besides Me..)

    Lately I've had a problem with finding random dubia walking around my house. >_< It's probably because my colony is severely overcrowded (gotta get around to making that craigslist ad...) but still. I thought they weren't supposed to be able to climb smooth surfaces, but I find them on the...

    Doesn't like her cage anymore?

    So I have a female bearded dragon who is almost 10 months old and 18". Her cage looks like this minus the little green/brown ramp next to the hammock on the left, and she's bigger. Old-ish pic. =P She has an 18" long reptisun and a 24" reptisun with no mesh between her and the lights. The...

    Is a decrease in appetite normal?

    Hi, all. So Daenarys is about 7 months old or so now, and about 18". Growing up she ate LOTS of crickets, like 30ish a day (average-y) of appropriate size and I've had her since she was like 4". I started giving her Dubia about 2 months ago and she was happy enough about them, but would only eat...

    How Many Supers a Day for a 6 month old?

    Hi all. So I have a 5-6 month old dragon who is almost 17" long. I recently switched her from crickets to dubia (mostly because once she started eating dubia she now completely ignores crickets). But what she really really loves are her supers. I was hesitant to give them at first because of...

    Possible Chow Recipe for Dubia + Crickets

    So I post too much. I'm sorry. lol. :P And this is probably going overboard, but I have all of this on hand so I figured why not? When researching and then compiling a bunch of different recipes for dubia chow or cricket chow, I've come up with this in an attempt to superiorly spoil and feed...

    Dubia: Leave them Utterly Alone, or Give them Fruit Weekly?

    I've been seeing a lot of different tips and stories of experience on here ranging from people who set their dubia up with water gel and food and leave them completely alone for a few months, and people who suggest giving fruit 2 to 3 times a week. So this makes me a little confused on what...

    Did I Set This Up Right? (Dubia Bin) Pics

    You're probably all getting tired of seeing me post threads. I'm sorry!! I just have soooo many questions!! :oops: It's an 18 gallon tub. I'm mainly wondering If I gave my bin enough ventilation. I didn't want too much because I know they need humidity and less ventilation means more...

    Vaseline vs. Packing Tape?

    I'm just paranoid and extra cautious. I'm expecting some dubias any day now, and I bought a clear 18 gallon rubbermaid tub for them. I chose the clear instead of the colored because the sides just felt smoother to me, then I covered the outside with wrapping paper. Anyway, I wanna go the extra...

    Where Do You Get Egg Crate?

    I've called a few stores but none of them have spare or excess egg crate. Which makes sense... the eggs usually come inside the crate and then you buy them as a package deal. :P But I'm trying to start a roachie colony, and I expect the first batch to come sometime early this week... So where...

    Can you use Repti-Therms for Dubias in Plastic Containers?

    I keep reading a lot of people recommend using heat pads for a dubia colony, but on the repti-therms it says "for use on glass tanks only/ do not use on plastic" etc. So is this just false or does everyone use a different kind of heater? I know most people keep their dubias in rubbermaids and...
