    Default feeding dubias

    I have 9 naturalistic habitats for various geckos and frogs. I have fed crix for 5 years and now want to switch to dubias. most will not tong feed. how do i get them to eat the dubias? I thought that if they got hungry enough they would eat but the panther geckos have gone from fat to quite thin. I ordered crix but really would like to switch. will they starve to death with feeders in with them?

    Put the roaches in a smooth bowl so the roaches cant get out. Make sure its small enough to allow the gecko to ssee in it if he walks by. I use dubia but I just switched to blatta latteralis. These guys are much more active (mainly at night) and they don't burrow like dubia they just hide under things and go crazy at night lol.

    I just got them a couple weeks ago so Im still new to them. But I have a couple thousand and they definetelly stink compared to dubia and eat a LOT more. But the smell is nothing compared to crickets. I havent had one escape yet. Just put some tape around the top and your good to go.
