Dubias

[Adriana0918]

So I know I've posted a lot in feeding but I just want to make sure I do everything right. I've finally convinced my parents to allow dubias instead of Phoenix worms because worms are getting expensive. He can eat about 1" Dubias but I'm not sure how much to order... He's 6 months, about 65 grams, and around 10 1/2 inches. How many should he eat?

I don't know if this helps, but my girl is 18 months, 17" & I'm guessing 370 grams. She eats 6-10 large Dubai roaches every other to every third day. I have not been doing a real good job w/the veggies lately but she barely touched them. So that is all she's eating. I believe she looks & acts very healthy & happy.

Our BD is around 12 inches (head to tail) and 120g at 5-6 months (guesstimating).

On avearge, he eats 10-12 3/4" dubia 2x daily. Sometimes he'll eat a little more, sometimes a little less.

We started a breeder colony back in April and it is getting close to being self sufficient. Up to this point I have been ordering between 200-300 feeders online every 10 days or so. I just bought 500 1/2" last week and that'll probably be the last ones I have to buy.

I would personally order 1000 at a time but order a size smaller than he normally eats. They will happily live for months if you throw some veggies their way and keep them at room temp, but they will grow some during that time, thus ordering slightly smaller ones.
