Buying dubia

[ILoveRJ]

Anyone know dubia suppliers with best prices?

ABDragons usually has good prices.
If your anywhere near Salem, Oregon I'll give you a bunch for free. I hate Dubia's and prefer orange heads over them. I'm considering selling off a large established colony just to get rid of them.

Seconded. I got my colony started with a shipment of mixed sizes from ABDragons.

Anyone have any ideas on what an established colony of 3000+ dubia would be worth? They are all sizes from adult to babies. I was thinking $150 seems fair, but I really don't know. I figure I'll just sell off the colony at the reptile expo I'll be a vendor at.
I just cleaned out their bin last night after a year of not cleaning it. I was surprised there wasn't very much frass at all. The buffalo worms did a really good job of breaking it all down.

I'm not sure as a whole, but I'd split them into a few groups and sell them in burlap bags as starter kits.

That's an idea. Splitting it up might actually make me more money. I just have been trying to feed the colony off...but it's not working. They replenish themselves quicker than I can use them.
