Curosity about Dubia Roaches

I noticed that the females are 1 $ a pop while the males are 50 c and seem far more rarer then the females.

Is there a reason that the price isn't the other way around, due to the females seemingly more likely then the male roaches?

Females make 20-30 babies. Males can handle 5 females,so not as many males are needed to produce lots of nymphs. Males are plentiful. Most people get about a 50/50 mix. Extra males are used as feeders.

And the prices you quoted are a bit high on the males. I see them at $.25 and females are right about at where you stated.

Yep, Rich is right. Females are the producers and are inherently worth more. Males are generally used as feeders, especially for bearded dragons.
