RoachyPissyHisser Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I started my Blaptica Dubia Colony about 4 months ago, first time doing anything like this. And I am now proud to say, I have 11 female, 5 males, and 64 Babies. Here are some Pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I notice that you had some containers in the first picture with a lid on. Do you just open these and let the roaches eat out of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just open these and let the roaches eat out of them? Ones is full of soaked tissue for humidity and the other 2 are a Morio worm project.

windward Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Seems to be going a bit slow, what temperatures are you keeping them at? I started a dubia colony in July with 100 mixed (a few adults) and then added a few hundred more small nymphs... and honestly, I don't know how many I have now - just that there's a few (plus) thousand. I keep the warmest portion of their container around 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierre72 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Pretty. I noticed that one sex of this species has rudimentary wings, like female Oriental roaches. What sex of Dubias has that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Adult females have such wings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
