This is the first time I've got larger numbers of dubia, but it's also the first deaths I've found. In the past week, I've have about 10 adults (males and females) and several nymphs turn up dead on the surface of the substrate. Since I do have several inches of peat moss and leaves in there I'm...

I'm trying to prevent any more litters from my possible hybrids, so I'm going to be pulling Dad and Junior out to start, and eventually will separate out all the male nymphs from the females. I'd like to have a small tank in my bedroom with them since I think it'll be fun to have them nearby to...

I bought 1000 about a month ago, and I've used about 2 dozen from that. I am seriously allergic to these guys, and my scorps are refusing to touch them, so they just aren't worth it to keep around. (Which is a shame, because I'm not looking forward to buying crickets for 17 scorpions. Why must...

This isn't the only one who looks this ragged - I've seen a few of the little ones looking this rough. :( About a third of them are growing perfectly and are big and shiny, about a third are growing a bit slower but still look good, and the last third are looking rough around the edges like...

I never greased up the 30 gallon for my hissers, and they had babies a few days ago.... I found two running around on the underside of the lid and a third that had been crushed completely flat along the rim at some point from me going in to change food or water, probably sometime last night. The...

I knew going into this that I have a strong allergy prick test to cockroaches. I assume it was from the hell-hole of an apartment that I was born into and lived for the first few years. The stories of the wars between the roaches and the mice that my mom told me were epic. Haven't been exposed...

The first roaches I got were from questionable sources, so I would like to make sure that they are what I was told they are. I noticed some differences in the adult males when I was moving them over to a bigger enclosure a few days ago, and I've been trying to confirm with photos on the net but...

I was hoping to be able to sell of some of my dubia to fund the freeze-dried insects that I normally feed to my hermit crabs, but for how much the hermits eat and for how expensive the freeze dried stuff is I don't think it's going to be the best choice financially. I was wondering if there was...

I found her this way last night having contractions. (I'm not sure if that's what it's called, but she was obviously having muscle contractions that made it look like she was trying to force something out.) By the time I got back with the camera she had moved under the logs so I didn't want to...

Hi everyone! I got my first roaches last weekend. It was supposed to be just some Dubia so I could start a small colony to have on hand for my Emperor Scorpions, but my pet shop lady had also gotten a pair of hissers and it was love at first sight. :) I could tell that she had wanted to keep...
