Just purchased my first shipment of 100 dubia roaches from amazon.com. The supplier is DBDPET who is currently closed due to the effects of Winter Storm Gregory til Later today at the earliest. I also reached out to them to find out if their expedited shipping is through USPS as they have keys to access the interior foyer to my condominium building. I should hear back from them later today or next week due to the weather as most shipments won't arrive til Jan 9-12th at the earliest.
The weather in northern Ky is frigid cold right now that's why i reached out to them. DBD's website stated that they don't breed very easily as they're tropical roaches, which i hope is the case as i lived in a condominium building with about 8-10 units inside it.
Any tips on keeping them stored once they get here since this will be a trial run for me with them as my beardie never had any love for anything but belgian endive, zucchini squash or meal worms this far? Again i'm trying to do everything possible to ensure they don't escape. I admit the veg i keep on hand are ones i'd use myself if they start looking like they will start to go bad soon.
Also my beardie likes having their bugs placed in front of them or visible on his basking 'rock/cave' one by one so that they eat them individually before i put the next one down. I use the feeding tongs for this. Would that also work for the dubia roaches? I ordered 100 Medium sized ones.
