Lemons?

Can i put a lemon in my dubia roach colony?

Mine won't touch lemons or limes.

I think the lemons themselves are too bitter for them. Oranges, clementines, and tangerines are what mine liked.

From what I've read lemons are bad for beardies. That being said, what your dubias eat will go into your dragons, but don't take my word for it...

I've had a colony myself before, and I've mainly fed them orange.

You know how you can get free oranges?
Go to a hotel that serves breakfast or look up hotels that do serve fruits near your area. Pop in there during breakfast hours and grab yourself one or two. That's what I did.

You shouldn't be feeding directly from your breeding colony anyways.

But yea, my colonies won't eat lemons, limes, or parsley. One time I put a carrot and potato slice in there, with a piece of parsley laid directly on the potato. They literally ate around the parsley. They carved out a parsley-shaped potato slice. :lol:
