Dubia questions

[marijocardenasc]

SO I am thinking on starting a Dubia colony but I do not know much about them. I think I am getting 30 adult females and 10 adult males. Also I am planning on getting 200 - 300 nymphs to feed my beard while the others reproduce. I think I am getting a juvenile so he does´t have to eat as much as babies do. What do you recommend me getting at first? Any tips? Also, how many Dubias would a juvenile typically eat? Can you help me with the heating with the Dubias? Thank you

I would consider orange heads vs dubia.
Here's a good place to gather info.

Hi, I have owned my beardie for 2 months now and I love her! I have been feeding her crickets! (Worst move of my life!) I fed her One BY One, and it took me 45 minutes EACH MEAL! I finally ordered 700 Dubias yesterday from a really good/cheapER sight. LOL. So, my 4 1/2 month old goes through 350 a week. That's about 50 a day. She would eat hundreds if I let her. (They are a goot size 1/2 inch)

once you had her for a few weeks, you will know how much to give her, or how much She wants. Don't forget to give greens every other day!
