    Wow! I never would have guessed, that I would find another person on UA-cam that is so close, that we use the same roach supplier. 😮

    I never thought I was a bug guy until I started breeding dubia's. I love these little fellas.

      They sure are awesome, one of the best feeders for insectivores, hands down.

      That's funny, my 3 year old daughter is afraid of most insects, but she loves the dubias for some reason.

    Hello from Denmark.
    Thank you. ☺ Looking forward to see a video about sorting them and how you do it.
    Right now I use some boxes stacked with different holes sizes.

      That can work too, just has to be something they can't climb.

    Do they need heat to breed and what temperature?

    A couple of questions, how often do you clean their tote and if they slow down in the cold, do they still reproduce but at a much slower rate?

    • @qbstailsnscales
      @qbstailsnscales  10 місяців тому

      I clean them out every few months. I have an update video where I show the process after a few months. If it's colder, they will reproduce, but very slow and possibly not at all. Obviously, that depends on how much colder. Below room temp, I haven't noticed much reproduction.

      Lol not really, if they do, it's from inside the enclosures but they always die within a couple days. They can't live in room temp that well.

    How do you make roach chow

    • @qbstailsnscales
      @qbstailsnscales  Рік тому +1

      I personally don't feed roach chow, just easier to feed vegetables and left over (fruits and veggies) from the kitchen scrap. They breed just fine with it.

    I think a good setup would be two or three tubs that can't stack inside each other and then have two with mesh floors let's the the baby's drop down to a second level or third level.

    • @qbstailsnscales

      The babies need to be able to eat too so that doesn't work. Just gotta sort them every few months so you can get babies when you need them.
