So I took the plunge and just ordered a dubia starter colony since I have a second beardie coming this week. I figure it will be worth the investment in the long run, and I find myself just watching them after I sort them for Nero anyways!
So I had a few questions for those with established colonies:
I intend to feed the roaches mainly fresh fruit/veggies but leave down dry food at all times in case. Has anyone had an issue with mites or fruit flies?
I'm using a somewhat clear plastic bin, do I really need to paint or cover it for them?
Is it true that they shouldn't be disturbed so I will need an additional feeder bin? Right now I've been sorting out Nero's meals while I put in fresh food for them, is that too stressful for them to breed?
Do they get enough moisture from the fresh food to not use water crystals? I put in fresh orange slices daily.
How often do you clean their bins? I plan on having a second bin anyways.
One more question, that has nothing to do with dubia, I have some small superworms that I'm rearing, do the beetles fly? I heard they can get pretty mean when messed with. :lol:
Thanks!
And I will introduce Soleil was she arrives!
