feeding male dubias

[atl4747a]

Quick question I have breed or am in the process of breeding dubias. My question is this when I feed the males off a few of my beardies seem to have a hard time getting the males down because of there wings any suggestions or ideas? How does every ones else beardies seem to do with them.

I normally cut their wings off with a sharp pair of nail scissors, if you dont want to do that stick with juveniles

Hope you don't mind.. I'm imbedding your image so we can come back to it...

Male on Left - - - Female on Right ?? I think.

I got this from a thread in the feeders section. It is the same for juvenile and adult roaches. The last section underneath on the females is larger(two segments) than that on males. I hope this helps.
