KitKatie329 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 When you guys are cleaning your larger dubia bins how do you prevent a significant loss of nymphs? It's impossible for me to dig through the old molts and frass to find them all, is there any easy way to separate them? Or is losing some just part of cleaning the bins?

Treebeard Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Do not give water to cockroaches (and canned food) for a week or more. then put 2-3 pieces of orange or apple ... you wait half an hour ... and when all the cockroaches will be the fruit ... you move them.

Hibiscusmile Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I need to try that too, I move what I can and then take forever picing out babies, also sometimes I put egg flat back in and leave them for awhile, they hid in it and I then move them too.

KitKatie329 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks, those are both good suggestions, I've done the eggcrate one but now I'll do the fruit one, it sounds way more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
