    Nice....remind me of my colony when I started out with 10 small roaches. 2yrs later..I have 1000+...really easy to raise. What I do is I have 3 boxes for rotating. One box for babies that I recently removed from my adult, one for sub adult and one for adult. I even started a channel to video down different food I feed my dubia and other feeder in it

    You can make a "coin size divider" to sort them by size. put in the small container divider to sift them.

    1:38 if you turn every other one around they will always leave a perfect space for the roaches without the risk of accidentally squeezing them

    @pamg1468 5 років тому

    Such a great video. Curious though... are the roaches able to climb the side of the tubs? I have always kept mine in aquariums because I feared them escaping but that allows a lot of light and have never separated the males. I started with 2M/3F 2 years ago and now have about 100. I will move mine to the dark for sure and separate them. Hopefully I will have some success! Thank you so much for this.

    • @SquatKing6459
      @SquatKing6459 5 років тому

      I’ve done some research over the past couple weeks. Specifically Dubia roaches can’t climb smooth surfaces, this makes using any Walmart storage bin perfect. If you really wanna go overboard you can leave a line of packing tape around the sides. They enjoy the dark so a heat mat or tape does wonders. Other than that the video explains the rest of care procedure

    • @roguelineageisfun8793
      @roguelineageisfun8793 5 років тому +1

      Start off with 35 females 15 males wait about a month they’re start breeding and it lol be good. I recommend dubia depot.com because they have starter colonies for 25 dollars it’s 100 roaches with females and males. It mimics an already started colony so they breed faster.

      Hi Evan. We buy and eat enough eggs that we buy eggs in 5 dozen boxes that each contain 3 egg crates I think, so I just save all of those. If you don't buy eggs in that form so you can save that packing, you can always order them online, here's an example but if you buy them online.. they are kinda spendy.. www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-5189/Corrugated-Bins/Egg-Filler-Flats-Paper-12-x-12?pricode=WY559&gadtype=pla&id=S-5189&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnv27BRCmuZqMg_Ddmt0BEiQAgeY1l4A5tt1yiE8Zi4J2mS-FiW3f4cENG2hYCD9FO0J0HKwaAiqF8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

      B. Dubias are good for the most part when it comes to nutrition for reptiles and other insectivores creatures but, i don't think dubias fits right in to my Tarantula arachnid hobby since they like to play possum all the time and doing the Mexican standoffs with my Tarantulas, Scorpions, and Centipedes which always waists lots of my time if i wanna see some Predator/Prey struggling action :/ Id say for reptiles only. I think I'll be switching to Eublaberus distanti soon since they don't play dead like possum just like dubias do..

Unfortunately I have too many males and will soon get more dubia cockroaches and the males that are too many in an extra box can and I will not kill them. I am not sure if my chickens have to eat them first 🤔. I just want to keep watching ect 🧐.
