How to Set Up a Dubia roach colony 

Not only is this video chalk full of info but the COMMENTS, UGH, you guys are so helpful 😭♥️

I get the egg crates from Amazon too, but I save my TP and PT tubes and those work just as good. I do water roaches with spray bottle and they Love that! I feed roach chow from BadAssBugs, fish food (specifically Wardley brand goldfish flakes, cuz my colony is picky af lol) plus any scraps of veggie and fruit. It’s crazy how fast they consume all of this. They’ll all be hiding then spray water or sprinkle food and they come outta the woodwork 😅

If you have a breakfast place nearby, Waffle house, Huddle house, pancake place ect, make friends with a server drop a nice tip a couple of times then ask for some egg crate flats "for your/family member's chickens." XD They throw them out daily by the dozens.

Started my colony today with a little over 100 and just went to check on them and they are already mating! I only have one dragon so hopefully they will breed enough to feed him so I can quit buying them. Thanks you the information you have on your channel.

This absolutely amazing!!!!! Go's I love your content you taught me how to set up a sustainable supee worm/beetle colony/colonies and keep it going!!! Also I wish you would do something on horn worms and that road 😅 god it's hard to get those guys to keep going... it's a SUPER HARD farm to start so maybe you could do that?

This is helpful. Im only planning on havimg a smallish colony for my single bearded dragon. Ordered 50 large Dubia with 100 medium so will have to go through the large and hope i have at least a few males and females.

Death by sun snu. HAHA, Thank you for that reference.

Dubia roaches and superworm bottles LOVE HAM!!! they Tear it up!!!! I put a piece in each one of my colonies one day and went back a few hours later and it was GONE!!! by far the fastest food i ever seen them eat...

8:20 Holy hell you got a mini nuke, i love it !

What about the cleaner bugs? Do you need those?

Hi I love your video, I recently set up a woodroach colony, but after two weeks, I notice some dead woodies in the bottom of the container, is that normal or there's something wrong? mine is 120L container, have heat mat, dry and carrot, I bought nearly 1000 mixed size of woodies as starter as I wanna feed my reptile earlier.

Death by snoosnoo!! Lmao love futurama!! 😅

How would you keep the colony in check regarding how many someone would want to have on hand? I have a bearded dragon dragon and a leopard gecko, so i dont want it to explode into a 1k. Or even close to that many. Lol

I started with 50f & 10m in 2020, then in 2022 I got about 750 more because I knew I can reproduce successfully, I’m excited to see what my colony looks like in 2025 lbvs.

I’ve read that citrus can be detrimental to reptiles when used to gut load feeders. Tho have also read that occasional vitamin C boost can be good. Not sure which is true so I avoid citrus and just include veggies and such in addition to the dry food (peppers have lots of vitamin c)

After a few years my dubias start to have deformities. Male with ruined wings and smaller females and quicker deaths after maturity. Is inbreeding an issue?

So im about 8 months into this and i saw my first baby get born and then i havent seen it since. Do theu eat their young? Do i need to separate them?

If I clean out the container, do I have to worry about egg loss?

Is it the same for discoids? (Florida)

My son wants to start breeding for his beared dragon but I'm afraid they can get of here and around the house. Do they?

I got a rescue baby today (beardie) and his cage smells so so so bad (he was given to me as a surrender) how the heck can I fix the smell pleaseeeeee send help

What's a legitimate website on where i can order these?

How would I safely heat this if i don't have a heat source to piggyback off of?

So how often do you clean it out?

At 4:39 are those leucistic or albino dubias? :0

My dubias eat eachother is that bad?

I started my colony with about 50 females, and I would buy about 800 extra large dubias that were really close to adults, and when they became sexually mature my colony exploded, and each month I sort the babies from the breeders and its gotta be at least a thousand babies each time I sort.

I made the mistake of feeding all of my males off and then praying for males to come up from the nymphs. Roach Jesus heard my pleas and a few males came up and their daughters and sons are the colony I have today.

Started my colony today got like 16males and 64females gone be my first time ever growing roaches

Howd the other male die?

How many roaches are you supposed to feed a 4 month old bearded dragon day

me again u r now my bf butmy baby has a big puffy beard does that mean she is fat? im sorry i bug u this way

I started my colony around a year ago with 100 roaches and have thousands now

Doing research on cockroaches. May i ask why you are wanting cockroaches in your home?

I learned about water the hard way with my mini worms 🤮

ULINE has cheap egg crates

is there a better way to talk
