another dubia question

So I have the rubbermaid set up with egg crates on one side and then water gels and roach chow on the other side. I have the temps finally up to par. 90 degrees and 35% humidity. I put in 3 oranges last night cut up, (from what I read on here they just tear it up) but it appears the oranges didn't even get touched. Is this normal?

They do love oranges! How many dubia do you have? I usually just put in one orange, sliced up, and within a couple hours it is gone. But, I have thousands of dubia. Give it some time.... I am sure they will chow down.

35% humidity seems pretty low, mine are at 50 to 70 percent depending on what kind of water source is in there. The need a high humidity to help them molt

I have at least 100 adult and a ton of babies and it takes them a couple of days to clean off a half an orange. I never let the orange go past a couple of days as I don't want mold to develop.

I have about 45 females and 15 males along with about 1000 mixed and I only put in 1/6th of an orange at night, by the morning it's picked clean, I do this every night.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
