fully feeding off a dubia colony.

[Claudiusx]

I say, take a chunk of the mediums and don't feed them, because you want them to grow into adults to take the place of when your current adults die from age or what not. And plus its always nice hanving more adults than you need. And then I would say its safe to feed off the rest.

As for a number, I would probably put like 200 mediums aside for growing up, since you have 1.5k of them. This still leaves you with a very good amount to feed off, if you can feed them off before they grow too big. But by then, your babies should be the right size!

Try offering them to her twice a day, Mojo is now 12 inches and gets her dubia and red runners two times a day She is shedding and is a cute lil pudgikins! I look at her welcome home picture and now think she was half starved when I got her poor dear

She is eating less because one medium dubia is like the equivalent of 3-4 crickets. They are meatier and more nutritious as well. Fred would eat crix until he was about to bust...at least 30 at a time. He only eats about 10-12 dubia though. He gets full and leaves them alone.

Hmm, Mojo's eating 5-12 2 times a day with 12+ red runners (aka turkistan roaches). LOL but then she is a little piggy! As long as yours looks healthy and is pooping fine perhaps thats just how much he needs
