Hey everyone, been a while! I just got several thousand supers (most for feeding, some for breeding) and I’m noticing a really weird behavior. Has anyone else seen superworms jump? Or more accurately twitch/ jerking hard enough to slightly fling themselves? They don’t go far and is almost say...

Hey guys! I was cleaning out my bins and just curious.. How big do your dubias grow to? Like what’s the biggest you’ve seen or raised? I have a gorgeous lady named Marge who is about 2”. She’s HUGE, or atleast I think she is, especially by comparison.

I tried to last night, but I forgot to turn off the flash and he stopped. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen!! Like if I saw a bug doing that at me, I would freak out, he legit looked scary. I’ll try and see if I can catch it again tonight

Ok so first I’ll get to the replies and then tell you what I witnessed last night firsthand!! They were definitely killing each other because out the 11 total I found 3 we’re still dragging themselves around half eaten. I’m all for the repashy for my breeder colony if it continues, but for the...

I’ll try that! I don’t wanna give him full on protein regularly, but unless these guys are just psychopaths I can’t think of any other reason for them them to be eating each other.

Hey guys! Been a while and everything is great! But I need some reliable info on a quality protein for Dubias. I know they shouldn’t have much because of the gout it can cause, but my males are going cannibalistic. They have a great heat source, fed at least every other day(sometimes Every three...

So I just started my roach colony back up and I have two bins. A feeder bin of my small-medium roaches that are room temp in a corner, and a breeder bin that is in a heated area and has all adults (and those that are only one moly away from becoming adults). Well my guy is brumating and refusing...

That was my original intentions as well because I kept him warm enough to digest even if he was asleep (hence the beauty of the weave basket as a hut). Pluuuuuus I’ve heard that you can “break” brumating by keeping everything as a normal day and sometimes they’ll “snap out of it”. I’m realizing...

.....oops!! Well that’s be why he’s giving me nasty looks. I will adjust the light and tuck him back in. Guess it’ll give my roaches time to make plenty of babies. He says “thanks for making that crazy lady leave me alone!!”

Hey sorry it took so long to reply!! I honestly just got busy with school and forgot to check back!!! So he’s definitely brumating. I’m not thrilled and I’m quite jealous. I wish I could curl up in a basket with a heat lamp and just nap for days too! So far the longest he’s slept is for 4 days...

What's a good dimmer? Is there any brand that works better than others?

I haven't used the reveal since right after I got him and my last one blew. I said to heck with it and went back to my plain rough service bulbs. Fraction of the price and last sooo much longer. But I think a flood would be a better light source. The incandescent just doesn't seem very bright

Full brumation is complete "hibernation" right? Like totally out for the season? Yeah I'd say a major slow down is probably the best description. I tried to contact his previous owners but hey never replied and he, I believe, was only with them for maybe three months before I got him. Should I...

Hello all! So it's my first winter with this fella and the past two weeks-ish he's been sleeping much much more. Bulb hasn't changed and hours are the same, but he's starting to curl up around 6pm now and sleeping. He's also eating much less. Some days he's really active and runs around his viv...

Sorry I guess I missed these replies!! Yeah buying the wrong size was totally on me, but I assumed 750 would still be slightly sufficient. He's 5 years old and a beast! He's lost weight since I got him, but the previous people were giving him supers, roaches, or crickets twice per day...

So my guy is trying his best to eat me out of house and home! I bought 750 small roaches(that was a my bad actually because I thought they'd be bigger). He ate through them in a week. Dude went through them like they were mini m&ms. I'm working on getting my roach colony back up and going but I...

Hey!! Luckily I did splurge on a time back at the beginning and let me tell you it's the most amazing and glorious contraption ever. I highly suggest one! A dimmer should really be my next splurge. The 100w seems slightly low depending on the room temp but the 150w is too high all around. I've...

Ok so I have a few questions that I need clarified for an adult please :) I use a 100w household bulb now and it puts my temp rang from 77-105 (cool to bask spot). He hangs in the 90-97 spot and won't really use the warmer areas. I want to put his hammock back up but it in the bask spot so I...

http://s345.photobucket.com/user/zombiepanda1/media/IMG_6851_zpshpg8ifyn.jpg.html Thanks for the egg carton advice! All I had was a cup holder but it worked and he loves it. He slept on it last night and acts like it's a lounge. He won't let me move it either and even dragged it and him over...
