Males are territorial. No matter how much protein you feed them you will always have the same result if you have to many males put together. That’s why its recommended that you keep 1 male to every 3 females the bigger the colony the smaller ratio, right now i keep about 8 females to 1 male, with excellent results. The rest of the males I feed off because they will battle it out causing a commotion which greatly disturbs the breeding process. Protein has absolutely 0 effects on a dubia roaches aggressiveness. However i have read that to little moisture will cause cannibalism but I haven't seen it.
