Just started a dubia colony!

[Hypnofrog]

Dubia roaches are often marketed as"Quiet". I have found this is not entirely true, as they produce a skittering sound.

Last night I woke up because I distinctly heard someone snapping their thumb, but it was just the Dubia's being weird. They talk to each-other too!


Your bin looks good! I'm jealous of your heating set up.^^
Is that all the egg-crates they have in that image? The females get stressed easily and won't produce much if there aren't enough hiding places, mine seem to separate from the other roaches to have babies, paper-towel tubes work great too, and crumpled napkins can be used as a burrowing substrate that makes them easy to find (just pick up a piece and shake).

Edit: And I just realized this post is crazy old..woops
