Weird dubias?

[Sauzo]

Anyone else got dubias that like the temps around 105 degrees? My breeders seem to love it really hot. They all gather up on top of the egg crates right under the heat lamp and sit there for hours in the dark except the little ones, they like it down lower i'm assuming since I don't ever see them up top. And the males run around like crazy doing the little courtship wing dance thing. I always thought dubias liked 85-95 degrees but like I said, mine love it extra hot :lol: .

I just moved my guinea pig bin to the garage, where they will get temps similar to that. We will see how they like it. Maybe I should put an adult male and female in there and see what happens.

You're keeping pet guinea pigs outside with it being over 100 degrees?

Yeah, but it's ok because I shave them and give them sweet tea to drink.











Not really. I have a critter keeper with about a dozen dubia in it. Whenever I make a change in food, temp, etc they get the change in advance of the colony so that I can make sure that I'm not doing anything lethal to my colony. Can't afford to start over. So this bin is in my garage at the moment, and if they fare well, then the colony will move out there and save me some money on my power bill.

Makes sense.
