Dubia Roach Colony

[DoctorevoL]

So I just got my order of dubias yesterday. There's 3 males and about 15 females,with medium to large nymphs mixed in. I have them in a large rubbermaid container with egg crates. My room's about 70-80 degrees, but I'll be getting them a heat bulb soon. Now, what I want to know is what temperature they need to breed, and what foods they can eat. Igave them oranges yesterday and they tore it up, so I brought some more. Before I left out, I gave 'em some more, but I'm sure they eat other things as well, so what do they eat? Any and all help and suggestions are welcomed. Want this colony to grow for my beardie.

They'll eat virtually anything. Most people feed them a mixture of dog or cat food (ground up in a blender or something), fish food, oats, unsweetened cereal, etc and supplement fresh fruit and veggies once or twice a week.

There's tons of info on these forums that can answer your questions if you read around a little bit.
