Lance, I saw one of my female dubias laying an egg sack for the first time a few days ago, very cool and gross all at the same time! More babies soon! Glad I had seen your post or I wouldn't have known what to think about that!

Congrats! And you are very welcome Sandy!

I started out with a very small colony (25 adults), and I think I have the temp around 93-95. Feeding them chow + water crystals + oranges, and they seem happy (?), but not 100% sure how to figure out if everything's going well aside from that. I've had them since Xmas eve. I guess it's time to start looking for egg sacks??

Or babies!

I saw bunches of tiny babies before I spotted a female laying an eggsack. Look for the babies, easiest way to tell.

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Sandy are you getting a lot of babies now?

 

[DragonMomSandy]

Yes I am! YAY! Roachy Bug Babies! LOL Every time I open one of the bins there are bunches of tiny little babies! Many of the first babies I saw weeks ago are now getting into the 1/4 inch size now too! I am really impressed by how quickly the females are producing babies! I have seen 3 or 4 females now with the egg sack over the past month or so, and I know there has to have been many more as well. I agree with Janie, the babies are kinda cute...for future food items! LOL

That is awesome Sandy! Congrats on the babies and sacks. :wink:

Thanks Lance! And just think, a couple months ago I was really hesitant to even bring these creepy crawlies into my house! LOL And no, I still won't pick them up by hand, but, they don't creep me out nearly as bad as they did the first time I saw them!
