Dubia Roaches sale!

[Bruce]

And i know what you mean by crickets... I had to buy them in bulk online for my female pixie before I had these. SMELLY, NOISY, EXPENSIVE, AND OVERALL NASTY!

[Heatheranne]

How's the nutritional value of the roaches c/t large crickets?

[Heatheranne]

Haha! You're not kidding! I'm not real fond of crickets, but I've gotten used to them over time. Esp when having to clean out the cricket keeper.

I used to have 4 firebelly toads, two red spotted salamanders, and a WC bufo toad. They ate a lot of crickets.

[Bruce]

sorry for the long response time..

Nutritional Facts
Caudata Culture Articles - Nutritional Values

These are two good articles showing the nutritional value of Dubias (in the second link i'm assuming american roaches are similar?) to other food sources, including crickets.

[Heatheranne]

Nice. Thank you! I'll check it out. Likely tomorrow though. My eyes are all fuzzy from bouncing from screen to screen and being sleepy, ha ha! It definitely sounds like a great option for my baby. I scrolled through the Internet earlier too. Good things mentioned there also .

No problem on the response time. It seems we have three conversations going on at the same time, lol! I'm just trying to keep up .

[Bruce]

haha! yeah I understand what you mean by eyes being fuzzy... I'm working on a 18 page research paper for college while doing this...

I <3 procrastinating :P

Anyway, let me know when you make a decision on what you want to do! It's first come first serve, but you seem to be the only one interested for now!

[Heatheranne]

Will do. And no worries if someone makes an offer first. I think I may want them though.

Yuck! Term paper. What do you have to wrote about? Can't say that I miss those days.

[Bruce]

I get to write about Psychology in the 2008 housing Market Crash! YAY!!! (insert sarcasm here)

If your interested i can keep them on hold for ya then. Thats not an issue

[Heatheranne]

I'll know by Monday. I'll for sure let you know. Thanks!

What is your major?

[Bruce]

Sounds good!

Business Administrations with a marketing/management option
I'm a senior at Penn State! (yay! last semester soon!)

[Heatheranne]

Congrats!

Penn State Behrend is here where is live. A lot of people who live here start here for their minors and then transfer to main campus to finish. Gannon is here also.

[Bruce]

ahh ok i know where you're at about. Hazleton campus is the same way (most smaller campuses are) but they had my 4 year major at hazleton. Doing it there was cheaper, closer to home (and my frogs ) and it was the same degree regardless of which campus i went to.

[Heatheranne]

Yep. Same as here.

I actually went to nursing school through our hospital but had classes through Gannon. Worked out nicely.

[Bruce]

oh wow cool! thats always a great field to get into!

[Heatheranne]

Ah, thanks. Lots of job opportunities.

[Bruce]

That's nothing to complain about.. Haha!

[Heatheranne]

True, true!

[Heatheranne]

Hey Bruce! I would like them. How much for 100 plus shipping? PM me. Thanks!

[ViperJr]

Just want to chime in and tell Heather that yes, you can absolutely feed RETF with dubias. I actually really recommend them over crickets any day of the week for RETF (and probably every animal ).
When you have a good colony, you have roaches in every size between 2 mm and 10 cm, so finding the right size should not be a problem.

I also want to say that an actually aquarium tank seems like overdoing it quite a bit. A plastic container is more than enough to breed these little great feeders.
Also, there are many threads about dubias and breeding them here, where some of them are quite long. Just do a quick search and I'm sure you'll find everything you need to know about these great feeders.

[Heatheranne]

Thanks Viper! Great to know . Now that my babies are moving in together a have a few extra 10 gal tanks.

Bruce and/or Viper, do they ship well in 40'F weather?
