  • The best way to save money while keeping insectivores is by breeding your own bugs. The best bugs to feed as staples are dubia roaches. In this video, I set up a dubia roach colony and give you details on breeding them.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

      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.

    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  3 місяці 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.

    You ever have them escape? 😮‍💨
    I was against rats in my house but here we are 😆

      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

      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.
