Feeder options until my dubia colony is established

[Heisei]

I have a few more weeks left until I have a dubia colony established. I was considering feeding crix in the mean time, but have read about some issues with parasites when feeding them to young dragons. So my next thought was 1000 Turks. I'll do Phoenix worms as snacks, but would like something cheap as a staple until the dubias are established. Thoughts? The silkworms seem to have tuned out to be somewhat of a failure...

Many thanks!

Yeah ! Aaron, you know what I have .. Go for the 1K turks. Just watch out major fast movers ! I love my reds ! The dragons look at them as popcorn feeders chase them all over the feeding bins !

I used turks until my Dubia were good to go, they are a great short term feeder.

What size do you think I should get? I'm looking on thebugpros.com and the mediums are smaller than the space between Ryuuku's eyes; and I would guess he would eat fewer mediums than smalls (thus they would last longer). I just want to make sure he doesn't get impacted.
