    What do I need to know about dubias?

    It's super easy! Here is another good link: http://amazingly-wildfeederz.webs.com/caresheet I own a house, but before my colony got as massive as it is right now I used to keep them in a closet in the guest room. People never knew they were in there. :twisted: I have heard of other owners...

    Staple foods

    On a side note, superworms do not make a good staple. If you want to choose two you should probably look at roaches, crickets, and Phoenix worms. I don't like Phoenix worms as a staple (or any other worm, for that matter). I prefer to control gut-loading and just don't like them. You will see...

    Staple foods

    Get Dubia roaches, they're great! Here's a care sheet to get you started: http://amazingly-wildfeederz.webs.com/caresheet The initial start up costs are higher, but once you get your colony cranking babies out you'll never need to buy feeders again. Of course you still will every now and then...

    To breed Dubia Roaches, or not to breed Dubia Roaches

    Just do it! I'm shocked your friend, a reptile expert, advises against breeding dubia roaches. Infesting a house in Michigan? Maybe in Florida, but doubtful there. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard! :P

    under tank heater too hot for dubia?

    That's good! If you don't care about breeding, I would remove the heat pad if they start dying again. Then see how well they fair. Gut load 'em and then load 'em into your dragon's mouth! :lol:

    under tank heater too hot for dubia?

    Let me start by saying I respectfully disagree (and I mean that with the utmost respect, I have watched many of your care vids on YouTube for different reptiles and treat them as gospel). 70s temps for roaches, in my experience, is fine for them to survive. That being said, to get them to breed...

    First dubia order (what to expect)

    Maybe it will help if you know my setup (not bragging or being flippant, but I have a very successful colony that is borderline overrunning me). :D I use a Sterillite bin that cost me about $15 and has the locking clamps on the sides (I bought it for the size, not the clamps). I cut a square...

    juices???

    I would be more concerned on why he's not eating, not finding alternatives to get him nutrition. Maybe provide us a description of your setup/temps and possibly a pic of the enclosure?

    BD not eating/sleeping a lot

    Also: how old is the UVB? What do you dust with? And did he start acting this way before or after you moved him?

    Dubia newbie here! Advice please!

    You may get some replies if you ask more specific questions to their care. :D There are also care sheets out there that can get you started, if you don't know what questions to ask as of yet.

    Dubi's dying.. cool temp ok for shorter term?

    You're the second person in a week or so that bought from Dubi Deli and commenting that you have had die-offs. Weird. If you keep it around 70 degrees you should be fine, but I wouldn't let it go much lower than that. And I wouldn't recommend housing cricket and roaches together. I have no...

    First dubia order (what to expect)

    Measure the temp where your heat source is. If its on the bottom, measure the bin bottom. Where is it and what is it? It's either something poisoning them or they are overheating if you are measuring the air temp and not surface temp. If its not the heat I would shell out $5-$10 for a new bin...

    Thinking of Switching to Dubia Roaches?

    Size-wise they will eat less dubia, typically, as there is more meat vs shell with roaches. You don't need to worry about impaction as long as you keep your dragon hydrated, but that is true with any feeder. Their growth rate is about six months to get to adulthood. Since they have about 20-30...

    How to keep superworms

    Asparagus... That is such a good idea. I may have to pick some up on the next trip to the grocer. I've been meaning to try a pickled asparagus recipe I've had for ages.
