I bought 150 mixed dubia 5 months ago. Around the 1 month marker I was seeing babys, I thought I would have a sustainable colony in no time. Now, I have many many large nymphs but after cleaning out the bin, I haven't seen any babys for at least 2 months. I know they are not in there, because I honestly haven't seen one dead or alive even after sifting through the poop. I did notice that some looked much larger and much flatter and had black legs. I remember having a discoid colony a while ago, and after finding a lot of dubia/lobsters/discoids at the bottom of some exo earth, I added all the dubia-looking ones into the roach bin. I was wondering if the black legged-flat large roaches were discoid nymphs?
How can I speed up the breeding? The bin is right next to a heater and I have been feeding them oranges for weeks. NO BABIES! I saw at least 3 full grown females.
