Well I just want to say some things about my dubia colony!

My setup is 2 egg flats stacked horizontally, I drop a couple pieces of fruits and veggies in there enclosure I have some oatmeal laying there too.

I bought around 25 females and 50 males but I thinned the males out to around 20 I believe.

How long do I wait to start feeding them to my sav?
When will I know that I have lots?

The box will be swarming with bugs, when you see tons of little baby roaches running around in there you will know it's heading in the right direction.

I'm with you on that one Norm. I can't wait to get a lizard latter on so that I can have a colony. It's the only way my hubby will let me get them. :D

Get colonies! You can breed them and sell them to reptile keepers.

Brady, I agree with Wayne.

Every time I see somebody say they hate the white ones, I think of a story somebody told me about their bearded dragon. He gave him white ones, and the poor lizard had no idea what to do with them...

I like the way they look when they're transitioning from white to brown. They have kind of a silver coloring to them.

On a side note, I saw a European golden roach (or something like that) today that was really, REALLY pretty. Apparently they make horrible feeders, otherwise I'd start a colony.
