Adult Dubia - What to do

I've been keeping around 400-500 adult male/female Dubia alive for several months. Once they reach adult size, they are really too big to feed to my beardies. As adults, they also no longer shed, and their exo-skeletons become very hard which could pose digestion issues.

My question is, what should I do with them? What animal would benefit from eating adult dubia? I was thinking of calling the local zoo to see if they'd want them. I don't want to waste them.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

An adult dragon would be able to handle them without much issue. The harder pieces are good for their dental health too. You could also just keep feeding them so you can keep your colony going. If you want to get rid of them, you could sell them on craigslist perhaps. If you put them in a small burlap bag with a little bit of egg crate they are fairly easy to ship too.

Sell em....
I posted a decent sized dubia colony on craigslist for $150. I got a bunch of hits on it within a 15 mins. I'm holding it for the first person that contacted me. First question everyone asked is "how many adults are there?" They are in demand because it's almost an instant colony.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
