Got a dubia colony going.

[MAK]

I just got 200 or so mixed dubia from a local guy. There are definitely way more females than males.

How long should I let it sit before I start feeding them off?
Which will be the best ones to feed off?

feed the nymphs first don't feed females off cuase you need them for babies. males you can feed off if it seems you have quite a few.

I took a peek inside last night and I spotted a pair mating.... Good sign.

If you only have one beardie, then selectively feed off the nymphs right away. For me, I started with about 100 mixed and started slowly, slowly feeding off nymphs and had a pretty good colony going within a month or two.

Yesterday I saw some tiny roaches.....Yup yup babies, its coming along. Now I have some HUGE females, I assume that those are the pregnant ones. Just now I spotted 4 mating pairs.
