How long for dubias to breed

well that depends on how large of a colony you want to keep going. If i only had 2 or 3 dragons to feed on an adult basis, I'd probably order 100-150 adults. Chances of you obtaining a higher ratio of males is good, so you'll feed those off till you have a good ratio of male/female. It'll take about the 3rd month for them to really get cooking and you to notice the new nymphs. I try not to bother my roaches for a couple of months except for feeding when i first set up a new bin.

Now..........if you intend to feed Assassin nymphs daily...........you'll want alot more adults.

I have to go over my Dubia setup and break it down to basics cause mine just arent producing.

Break up your m/f ratio to 1:3 it can even go higher than that.....but i wouldn't go over 1:5. When i want to slow mine down, I bring it to 1:10.

yeah im thinking i have to many males. I just have to go through it. i have that planned for tomorrow. I figure i have another month or two before my dragons are back up so i have time to allow the colony to bumb itself back up.

Sounds good. If you need help on the supers, just yell. I grow my own.

Now is a great time to start. It takes a while to get it moving smoothly simply because of morphing time.
