wojcik49 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It seems like my dubia roaches are not eating...there in a dark bin egg crates all the ay around each side....food in the middle on small tupperware tops...the enclosure is 95-98 degrees.....any ideas why they aren't eating? Or are they eating little amounts and can't tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibiscusmile Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I also would lower the heat, I keep mine at 72 or so and they multiply like, well like roaches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termite48 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have been keeping mine outside the last three nights and there are still producing females showing oothecae. I feed mine the stuff that Rebecca (Hibiscusmile) from Mantisplace sent to me to try. Within a few seconds of it being sprinkled over their bedding area, they are there scarfing it up. They also take the left over cricket food that is made by Fukers. I have to be careful not to mis-spell that name and get banned from this forum. Within a few minutes my Dubias take to apple slices or just a meaty apple core when I am done with my Apple snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
