What do you dubias like to eat most?

[essenm25]

I just started my colony and have been trying some different foods out. They went crazy for oranges and hard boiled eggs but some stuff they won't touch. What do yours like the best? How often do I switch out the food?

Also if they have oranges do they need another water supply?

They like oranges and bananas.

If you use oranges as a water source, you will constantly need oranges available. I use cricket waterers plus oranges.

Mine love butternut squash and oranges. You should still have a water source. Many people use water crystals, jsut keep an eye on the humidity.

What I feed my Dubias is dog food with the highest protein that I can find and I usually give them Oranges, Bananas, Butternut squash... but They absolutely LOVE oranges! you still want to give them a water source because if you leave the fruits in the bin for too long a bacteria can develop and kill the colony! but what I do is buy these

and they last forever! I got this advise from a guy that breeds crickets down by me and I don't get any other kind of water source for them!

Mine love apples and pears. They like oranges too but seem to go nuts with apples. I have fed them bananas, grapefruits, plums, carrots, various greens (collards, mustard), squash. I'd like to try some peaches or nectarines and see how that goes.

get some moist dog/cat food, and a banana, they eat the stuff like crazy, watermelon rinds work well too.

Ohhh man!!! I tried clementines a few days ago and They ate an entire one which I thought was kind of a lot but I put it in there around 9 and when I went to check this morning at around 830 there was only peel. lol! I don't like ornages or anything like it but my Fiancee chose them and I have to admit they looked and smelled AMAZING so I can imagine that made it even better for them!
