Keeping dubias for feeding

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm not ready to tackle starting my own dubia colony yet, but had a question about keeping them for feeding. With my son's frogs we just put crickets in a cricket keeper (with the tubes) with gut loader food and calcium-fortified water gel. Will this setup work for dubias as well, just to keep them alive for feeding? I understand the dubias will live a lot longer, but how long will they stay the right size for an adolescent dragon, i.e. how fast will they grow at a room temp of about 72 degrees?

They'll stay the right size for a couple weeks at least, until they start molting. At 72 degrees, you may even get a month out of them, as they will be too cold to grow or eat much. :)

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
