Dubias

This is for everyone but a couple of people have pmed me about my dubias...
Here is a pic, could only find one.....B

The ones in the pic are females with babies. The males have wings but do not fly.

Lets post our questions here so others can be informed about roaches & their care....Take care Beth

Craigh, and Toni-Didn't know if you saw this thread Beth

Yup, I saw it. How do you send these things? Male and female or just babies?

Just pm me...Beth

Do you prefer dubias to lobsters? I use lobsters. Which reminds me, I've got to feed those darn things. Lol.

And how on earth are you supposed to clean the lobster cages? I suppose just have a second one set up and move them over? Luckily they don't smell too bad : )

I prefer dubias because they are not climbers. The little ones can climb some but I have never found any escapees in my house. I think my bins are a little old so there are some rough edges on the sides on the inside. The larger ones can't climb. I use no substrate in my bins-just egg crates and a box with newspaper, I have a little broom and dustpan that I use to sweep up after them. For the deep cleaning I scoop them out and put them in a strainer so any other excrement falls through and put the strainer in the plastic top of a cake carrier until I get them all out. Then I clean it out with soap & water, dry, add more egg crate and a box with stuffed loose newspaper and then pour them all back in the bin. I use 12 pack can coke boxes cut in half. I picked dubias because of their inability to climb. Take care Beth ope this helps. nyworms has great care sheets on all types of roaches.
