So I just sexed and counted out my colony to see where I am at. As of rite now I have 80 nymphs which I didn't bother sexing, 43 females, and 47 males. I separated the 43 females into a separate container with 10 males. The container has holes in the bottom which I hope the nymphs will leave out of after they're born. I understand that females will produce about 15-35 nymphs a month depending who you are talking to on the forum. For safety sake we'll say 20. So the one variable I'm missing to determine when my colony is ready is how many nymphs my baby will eat per day. I don't want to experiment with the few roaches I have so I was hoping some one could give me a conservative estimate of how much their baby eats. Saphira is just about 10 weeks old and is 8.5", 20 grams. I'm hoping it's only around 20per day which means that I just have to wait for all my females to mature
