I need all you roach experts to help me out here. Seems that this is up for debate. Just WHAT IS the proper male to female ratio when keeping dubia? I've heard 1/3 all the way up to 1/10.
Thanks,

Full Version: Male to female ratio of breeding dubia
Hi Ian,
I'm guessing your question is the minimum number of males? One male can keep quite a few females fertile, possibly in the hundreds.

I keep one male per 10 females.

Excellent! Then that's a good thing! I'll have to thin them out cuz I was keeping a 3/1 ratio. Not a problem w/ hungry Beardies around though!
