I've been starting my own dubia colony, with the help of John at JD Roaches, and Lance(has anyone seen him, I can't even find any of his threads any more?), and the good folks at DubiDeli. My colony is going well, and I'm actually starting to be able to feed from it, although I have to let the little dubia grow some because they're a little tiny to feed Scooter at first. I have about 200-220 females and about 35 males. All my feeders are kept in 18 gallon sterilite totes, I have one for feeder dubia, one for breeders, and one for crix. My question is, how many adults can I keep it there? I was thinking of keeping up to 500 breeding females, and I was wondering if I would need a second tote to keep them in. I don't know if overcrowding is an issue or not with dubia.
