Here's an in-depth video about why & how I keep and breed my dubia roaches. It's funny cause I used to pick these guys up with tongs, then I would do it with gloves as I got more comfortable and now I just pick them up LOL.

19:00 Mark, I do keep my babies and juveniles in a separate container once it comes time to clean out the adult bin and one reason for this is because I have heard the adults can eat the babies as a moisture source and I can keep track better how my colony is doing and I can grow out my juveniles and keep count of how many male to female ratio I'm adding back to the adult bin!!! Just My 2cents

@perfectlyimperfect5677 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this!! Dubia roaches are def not cheap and I’ve always wanted to start my own colony! This was a huge help!

@SquirrelyPop19 2 года назад

I have 8 reptiles & for a while strictly kept Dubia’s as just food for them, But about a year ago I got excited because it looked like one of the females was about to have her babies so I isolated her in a small travel tank just to show my husband & he says to me She’s dead hun. I didn’t believe him but what I thought was babies were actually worms or some parasite that had crawled up in her & ate all her insides & was making its way back out to possibly do that to another. I gotta tell you I was so heartbroken! I started crying, but then that turned into anger & did more research, it appeared she was the only one but I had 1 more female & 2 males (extremely small collection at the time) , I promised them I wasn’t going to use them as food but give them as happy of an existence as I could , I had to feed 1 of the males to my dragon because he was beating up the other male & ripping his wings, plus they were in love & that roach was jealous of them, but after I got rid of the A-hole the 2 were so happy & immediately started having babies! I have probably about 200 Dubias that just started with the 2 love birds 😉 now & I still made good on my promise, Not one has been eaten yet…. But I found this video very informative! Thanks!

how many did you start with? I'm starting with 155 which is a mix of adult breeders, sub adults, and nymphs. also getting 100 nymphs on the side for feeding short term. is this too much for 1 beardie? he's currently like 8-9 weeks old ..

Great video, thank you for sharing, but isn't the water bowl too smooth for them to climb especially for the small nymphs?

I do wonder about the rotting food thing because roaches are supposed to be decomposer. I wonder if there is a good way to know how that actually affects them. Plus I didn’t know the protein thing was potentially poisonous, I just heard that it’s just not good for you to feed a high protein roach to your pet, but I have a Savannah monitor and a good source of protein is helpful.

A rare opportunity indeed, but yeah I know I'm looking at this to breed my own roaches I have a couple of lizards and stuff and I was thinking about making some side money with it so I'm glad I found your content hope to see more of it.

I have a question if anybody would like to answer.I recently just got a female leopard gecko she is a tangerine morph and she’s super shy and skiddish ONLY when she comes out ok so this is werid,she doesn’t care when I leave my hand in the tank she’ll lick it,step on it,go around it and all and she does this thing where she gets up and sticks her head up on the glass window (I have a front opening tank) and just waits there and I know it means she wants to get out because I’ve opened the doors and let her on my hand but here’s the thing this girl will crawl onto my hand like no problem but you know how like you don’t want them going a certain way so you kinda block them with your hand? Idk if that made sense but anyways I would block her and she would go over my hand and go up my arm but the thing is once I let her up my arm she freaks out and runs like out of nowhere and if I have her on my bed and I’m trying to tame her she would run fast in my hands causing me to put her back so I don’t stress her out idk what to do or how to deal with that since this is my first reptile but I just need some advice and extra help thankyou for reading lol

I’ve heard things about not feeding citrus to dubias that are feeders. Also I’ve been told conflicting things regarding calcium for dubias. There is a concern that they may be unable to molt properly if they have too much calcium. Have you heard any of this and/or had issues with these with your colonies? There is so much conflicting information in this hobby. I appreciate you tubers like you, who set a high standard for animal care!

@Adulting_Autistic 3 года назад

@fitodaking16 2 года назад

@@basedcanadian6869 that beardie will go thru them dubias quick. For dubias to start breeding and grow quickly, they will need a warm temperature, high humidity, and a lot of food. I always fed my dubias fresh produce. If you just keeping the dubias to feed your beardie, just keep them somewhere warm and dark. Feed them daily, enough for 1 day. Don't leave food in their bin, a lot of mold and worms will grow in their bin which will be bad. You can feed your beardie as much dubias as it can eat. I use to feed my bearded dragon dubias daily. Your beardie will thank you

@basedcanadian6869 2 года назад

@@fitodaking16 thanks for that. I've done a lot of research on how to keep them. I'm getting 155 mixed as well as another 100 nymphs separately for feeders. I was wondering if 155 mixed was too much but it sounds like it could be a good amount to start a growing colony... if he eats 20 a day that's 600 a month 🤯.. maybe I need even more.. but I don't want the colony to explode to 100,000 lol

@fitodaking16 2 года назад

@@basedcanadian6869 the only reason why I got to 100k in a year was because I never fed the dubias to my reptiles. I only had the dubias for breeding. I fed some of my males to my reptiles but that's about it. Also, you need to decide if you want to do a 3:1 ratio or a 5:1 ratio. 3 females per 1 male or 5 females per 1 male. Since you don't want your colony to explode, I recommend you 3:1 ratio. If you want a lot of dubias like me, I would use the 5:1 ratio method. Also, try feeding the males off to your beardie, keep your females for breeding.

For invertebrates: Never ever use a headpack on them! You can cook them with it. Roaches can get their humidity with their food, best is organic food. Pumpkins are great food sources for roaches. Roaches can get their protein from plant matter, so, don't give them cat food or dog food.
