Dubia Question
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but anyway, can anyone tell me how much food a colony of dubia go through? Not including oranges, potatoes, apples, etc. for moisture, but just plain ol'feed?
I bought a 20# bag of chick starter, a pound of bee pollen granules, a bag of coconut, a 5# bag of tropical fish food, a 2# box of natural cane like stuff from health store to add a little more sweet, a 2#box of sugar in the raw, 2 boxes of baby food multigrain oat flakes, and a can of quaker oats. I mixed it all up and filled one and a half 5gallon buckets. I am wondering how long this will last. Like how much will a couple thousand mixed sized dubia eat? A cup a day? 5 cups?
I just wonder how long 7-8gallons of feed will last. I realize I cooked up a premium gutload batch, but never the less, I want them fat and multiplying. vs. some shady dogfood diet. Unless they tear through this in a month, then I better save it for a gut load and go a cheaper route.
Thanks,
Dave
