Ok, I got some male dubias to feed off

[TazzysMamma]

(Thanks Dawnki!) And I was wondering about their size? I have two adult dragons, but these male dubias are like almost 2 inches long? Obviously way larger than that space between their eyes... can they handle it?

Please advise!!!

Also, Im looking to try and buy some more (gotta get this squirmy colony set! LOL) and wondered is it better to buy the small dubias, or the mixed set ones? the mixed seem to be more expensive.... what to do? what to do?

Thanks so much for any advice!!!!

adult male dubia are really smaller tham they look. The wings make them look larger. an adult dragon should not have a problem with them. give them in moderation to ensure there is no problem with them digesting and passing. getting adults for breeding you have no idea as to the age of them. You could be lucky enough to get a young adult providing many litters to come. but an older one may be close to the end of it's life cycle. only way to ensure the age of an adult is get the large nymphs (smaller ones too but they take longer to mature) and once a female reaches adulthood you can be sure (if kept healthy) from 12-18 months of producing babies.

Ok, that makes sense then! Thank you so much!!!

I would like to get a handfull of dubias to feed to my dragon without starting a colony. I do not want to breed them. Just give Rocky a treat one or 2 days.
I can only find sites that sell them by bulk and that is way too many.
1st off, can they be kept in a cricket keeper without getting loose?
And can they just be thrown in with the crickets?
