B. Dubia Theory 2 month results

I have had a small brain storm, paper egg crate is kinda hard to come by
What do you think about using inexpensive HVAC filters like this one.
But smaller.
You can get them in just about an size and they can be cut or folded in half.

they may work. remember roaches love hiding places. those give surface space but not hiding places as egg crates do. i personally would use them to line the bottom of the bin. I will tell you what though it would work the best for new borns. maybe better than egg crates. it has sufficient hiding places for babies, maybe not so much for adults. use them let me know how they work out. if you cant get egg crates i would certainly use them.

You're not kidding, lol! So many new nymphs every day. Hence the turning down of the bulb or turning off sometimes. I will likely sell some this summer.

I moved mine to a 20gal long. I feed at one end and keep a 75watt red heat bulb at other. I actually mist the very top of the tank every 3 days or so. They molt faster . Then I pick out the freshly molted ones for my frogs. I feed mine carrots, oranges, apples, bananas, romaine lettuce, water gel, and Cheerios. A few other things sometimes.

When will your next study be? Do you sell yours at the reptile shows?

Sorry i forgot to answer your second question Heather. I do have a show i am selling at. well selling to someone who is going to sell at a show. But since the arrangement, i have gone into a partnership with this person and soon i will be selling a large array of feeders, dubia right now is my nest egg and very soon I will be selling at an excellent price online. i hope to have 4 or 5 roach options along with crickets and super worms (two species that i preach against but the demand is high and for some animals they are top choice). I have also started raising a few breeding tarantulas. And would like to breed a few species of mantis as well. I am also thinking about breeding fire belly toads. I would love to breed american bullfrogs and cane toads, however in the state i currently live in i can have them and breed them all i want but they are illegal to sell. Along with breeding multiple species of roaches i wish to learn and provide the best guides you can find on breeding these feeders.(with Jeff's help of course) And FF is going to be the first place to find this information. I first came across the ground breaking find on the protein theory thanks to Jeff. And his info is what lead the the study that quadrupled my reproduction. I am sure we can put our brains together and do similar research on other species. Lobster roaches and Hissers are my next mission. But not only to raise and sell but to improve the quality of food we provide for our loving frogs.
