    you'll love them and be sorry to feed to your frog lol cos they are awesome and you'll want to keep them as a pets one of my friends did just that, he got as a feeders, now they are pets, have very interesting social net among themselves, very cool and interesting to watch.

    but i heard they are pretty slow breeders, not sure how it would work if to feed it as a staple. i think it is better to have dubia and hissers.

    just saying I bet Mrs Pacman are gonna be very happy to eat them.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    The entomologist I am getting them from says that the population gets out of control pretty quick. But he knows the ideal feeding and everything else for them as well. He has told me how to get quick results. We will see how it turns out though. I plan on using them as staple once the colony is well established.

    They dozen or so that I am getting will be pets and breeders. They are his babies so I wouldn't feel right feeding them off.

    Hissers are said to breed at the same rate as dubia. This means they berth once every 2 months between 20-40 babies. the only differences is they mature into adults in 3 months, this is twice as fast as dubia making their population grow twice as fast. They are kept quite similar to dubia. Similar heat and humidity and husbandry in fact you can keep both species together successfully. Oranges also improve breeding with this species.
