Dubias are multiplying faster than the Demand

Help!!!

I'm really concerned because now my dubia colony has exploded and I have way more dubia than what we need and getting another beardie is just out of the question (my husband would kill me!)

I'm thinking about cutting the temperatures down to 70 degrees so they stop mating. Does anyone know how easy it is to sell them? Is it profitable? Enough demand?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Same thing happened to me, I just removed the heat (they were at room temp) and it slowed things down. I needed babies again after a few months so I started the heat again last month and I'm already seeing new babies.

Hi everyone, No I have not posted any For Sale because I am not knowledable enough on how to ship them. I would definitely consider it if I had more info on how to do so. However, for now, I think I will take fez09 advice and just shut off the heat.

I'm so angry at myself that I spent loads of $$$ on buying crickets the first 6 months of Luther's life and now that I have a plentiful supply of dubias, he's hardly eating anything! ARRGGGHHH!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
