KitKatie329 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 So up until now, I have been hand counting my roaches. I was wondering how much a hundred dubia of various sizes would weigh. I need to deal with a large amount and can't possibly count them. I know it can't be exact, but that's not what I'm looking for, just an easier way to count roaches. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe mark them with some kind of tags or tape or paint, making sure it's non-toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCrackerpants Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I once say a chart for dubia weight/number but I can't find it now. It was very detailed and had numbers for different stages of development. It was online. Maybe you can find it better than me. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 the problem with charts is your always going to have in-between sizes your best bet is to count out 100-500 and average them if they are similar size once you get into mixed groups it becomes very hard we sell a ton of B.Dubia every Sunday I hand count 500 to get our weight for that weeks shipments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
