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?
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
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.
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!
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
