is this enough?

[INCA]

well i have 10 adults bds and a colony of dubia. i have about 200 adult dubia females. im not very good at math but is this enough to maintain the colony while feeding them out. (nympths)

Should be plenty, even if I use my conservative number for estimation that's going to be 3000 nymphs per a month (really going to be more than that.) That would be about 70-75 roaches per a dragon each week and as adults they shouldn't be eating that many anyways.

ok souns good. hopefully! but as they are adultsi would only feed adult male dubia. then i wont have enough :?

No reason to only feed the adult males. Feed off large nymphs as much as you like. The numbers above suggest your colony will be able to support it just fine. If you started feeding off the adult females, you would have no producers and it couldn't sustain itself.

Feeding nymphs, some will be females, but because of the numbers you know you won't be feeding off more than you are producing, thus you will have new females maturing to replace the older ones.
