Tongue Flicker Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just curious, at max how long can an adult dubia go/live without food? I tried not feeding a couple of adults and so far they were good for more than 72 hours. Just wanna know how good they fare during food shortages haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonsaladsandwich Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Did the roaches die, or did you just get bored with the experiment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongue Flicker Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 None died. Some males even molted again and one female even gave birth to a dozen babies lol.. I'll try again to see if they can survive a whole week without food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcbpolish Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I keep some excess male dubia in a jar with just cardboard and mistings. They live for weeks that way. Probably eating the egg cartons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acro Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 So the roaches are being starved for what purpose? These "experiments" seem to be for your entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 One post in this thread was just deleted. Intentionally starving the animals we love will not probably be a well received topic on this forum. Tread lightly, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
