I started my Dubia colony about 2 weeks ago with 25 females and 15 males. I should have read this post before I did! :roll:
I have been giving them oranges and apples and water crystals but my stupid rear end didn't do enough research, so they haven't been getting any protein! :shock: At least I've only lost 1 but of course it was a female :roll:
I have 8 dogs ( read that "dawgs" because I live in NC and am as southern as they get! :lol: ) so we spend about $230 a month for Blue Buffalo dog food. We spend close to twice that for feeders for 4 dragons! My husband would kill me if he found out that I ground up some of the blue buffalo to make a dog food sammich for the roaches! :lol:
My temps are great, the humidity is good and I thought I had some lovin' going on until I found out that I was starving them to death!
I am now in search for some females so that I have a better male/female ratio. I have some nymphs in there but it will take them a while before they are producing!
At least I found this post before all of them died on me!
