eric10686 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I just bought a small colony of 100 mixed dubia 7 days ago, I have them in a medium sized plastic bin and a small heat mat on 1 side. 75 degrees on 1 side and 90 degrees on other. I have new fresh egg crates in there and the bin is clean. I currently feed them crushed up dog food and slices of potato for water. humidity is at 50 %. They were doing great for 7 days. And then I woke up this morning and 90% of them were on there backs looking like they are dieing. I read online that it is okay to feed them green beans, so last night i put some french style green beans out of the can inside there for them to eat, (no salt added all natural). Im thinking they are dieing because of this... which i though green beans are okay? any suggestions or ideas? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfarms Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 green beans are fine to feed them but potato on the other hand I would be cautious of. Potatoes turn green when exposed to light which is toxic (Solanine) also found in the stems of tomato plants. I would use carrots instead of potatoes.
