My 8 wk. old BD, Rufus, is 10" long and weighs 55 grams. He usually eats at least 20, 3/8" to 1/2" crickets at each meal time. I have a healthy dubia colony from which I can pull an almost unlimited supply of nymphs. I hand fed Rufus 5 nymphs this morning and he loved them! Now, my question is: How many dubias would it take to replace 20 crickets? This is assuming that the dubia size is between 3/8" and 1/2" in length. Should I just keep putting them in until he stops eating? Do I use nutritional value as a guideline or his capacity?
Has anyone completely replaced crickets in their BDs diet? Thanks for any input!
