Exciting! Junk growing into "adult colors"

Damn, that guy has a colony of 10,000... Yeah he's just cleaning out; I paid $60 for 200 adults. So, I got an ok deal huh? Haha.

well if he sold off 4,500 adults, and now 300 to me, and he has enough to give me mostly females....... I would say he has WAY more then 10,000. haha 4,800 adults, which he said was almost all his adults, would produce like 40,000 to 50,000 a MONTH at worst.

What a beast. I'm sure he gave that colony a couple years of solitary breeding without picking out of it. Started with like 500 adults more than likely. Would love to end up that way, but with my 'fat' pixie. That ain't gonna' happen, lol. Gluttonous eater these frogs are.

I'm surprised; I give him 10-12 large night crawlers with 30-50 large crickets every 2 days in a feeding bin at night... Mixed with a frozen hopper every 2 months. Cleans out the bin in 15-20 minutes and then I put him back. He'll damage that dubia colony when he's full grown too; got to make sure I have it raised enough. He's still only like 4-4.5 svl, lol. Can't imagine when he's like 7-9 inch full grown male. What about yours? How's she eating besides the last couple of days of losing her appetite. She eat overwhelming amounts of food?

actually she doesn't. Maybe thats the male vs female thing. normal appetite is only 10-15 large/medium dubia. she will probably eat that amount every single day, but after that she starts burrowing to get away. Maybe the dubia are just supper filling, or the larger ones make her think she's fuller faster. idk.

for a full sized adult make, eating 3 times a week, your talking probably ATLEAST 25 adult dubia a feeding. so thats around 300 large dubia PER MONTH........ yea.... your going to need your colony to be a good size to keep that beast happy.
