Exploding Dubia?

[thegreybush]

I was afraid to touch it for fear of wearing it. What's with this thing!?
(new to dubia colonies)

holy crap :shock: thats one fat roach

 

[thegreybush]

I may end up feeding it just for entertainment value....

I would totally take a slow motion video of it and post it here lol.

 

[thegreybush]

ROFL omg I just had a thought....I just threw some quick cooking oatmeal in the bin for chow the other day... Do you think it swelled inside of this one and is actually going to blow?

omg what if my whole colony explodes! That would be the story of the year!!

I might have a patent coming for a roach extermination method...

 

[TASTIGER]

that could be! iv heard of doing that if you have an ant problem

 

[thegreybush]

I took it out and set it down. It was literally too fat to move itself. So I fed it to Jericho and he kept licking his lips like he had the worst case of cotton mouth ever!
:laughhard:

None of the others seem to be exhibiting the same condition. I'll let you know if my colony explodes like a bowl of popcorn.

:lol:

It may have been getting ready to molt. They usually pick a spot (on an egg crate or something) and hold onto it and don't move until they're done. They expand themselves and break their outer shell, and then slowly break free and then voila, freshly shed roach. You should have waited a little bit and you could have given your dragon a soft treat.

 

[thegreybush]

so its okay to use oatmeal?

 

[Sapphire]

Yeah, I feed my roaches oatmeal all the time. No explosions yet, lol.

 

[thegreybush]

that would be epic, though.
