I started this test when I got home from vacation... I wanted to test the theory that dubias won't chew on a dragon ( or any other animal) if they were left with the animal over night.
Here are my notes.
Nov 6, 2009.
Took 200 dubias and added them to a sterile bin ( cricket keeper with lid). No food items, 3 torn up to fit egg crates.
Nov 9, 2009
added a corpse of a mole we killed in the yard...
Nov 11, 2009
Removed corpse in state of decomposition.. no evidence of being eaten by dubias...
tossed out the dubias to the yard... sanitized the container.
This was to test if dubias would eat or bite into any mammal or reptile they are fed to.
The findings point to the fact they would not...
Hope this helps everyone out...

Oh the state of decomposition was stinking.. not much decay externally at all.
I had to open up the house and air it out... lol... whew!
