Ah, yes I think I came across your article written on them when steest put it up. Really well constructed and concise with more than just B. Dubias.

Yes, roaches do reign supreme over all feeders. They are my favorite, however it's also tough to beat earthworms (Night crawlers). Care for those are undoubtedly easy and the nutritional value of one of those is very tough to beat. I've never done a comparison of the European Nightcrawler to B. Dubia on a nutritional chart. I'll have to see which one wins overall; I'm sure B. Dubia do.

I just wish I would of started my B. Dubia long before I got my pixie, but it happens. I'm just concerned about his growth factor fed primarily on just crickets and night crawlers at the moment. He eats a ridiculous amount though so he gets his fill. Plus I fed him his first f/t hopper tonight, he wen't crazy.

I'm having trouble with my B. Dubia colony as of now as well, I'll probably have to replenish the colony when you get your colony sustained Jeff. My problem seems to be more induced by stress than not enough heat. I constantly check up upon them: refilling food supplies, water gel crystals, and dead ones. "Monster" gave me some good pointers so I'll just try to follow some of that. It's just frustrating when I've done so much research on these guys; I know pretty much everything from top to bottom about these guys... I just don't practice it or I need to re-do my setup or not bug them so much. Just not enough experience with them is all I guess you could say.
