I started a dubia colony a couple weeks ago. It is small (approx. 120 mixed).
I have a few questions.
I have a few questions.
- I have a heating pad under them with the bottom of the tub reading about 105°, but the air temp is never able to be kept at 90° (more like 78° at the top of the tub). They have vertical egg flats to nest in.
Is this OK for them to breed? - I am feeding them chow that came with the colony (plus some greens), but they eat VERY little.
is this normal? Crickets clear out ten times as much! - I have approximately 12 adult couples; how long before I can expect babies? (assuming the temps are OK)
- Should I put on some Marvin Gaye to set their mood?
