Female Dubia Question

Dubia Dynasty

Dubia Dynasty

Third Instar
How long can female dubia's produce young after the males are gone? Are they like most animals or can they keep producing for a while.

 
I kind of let my roaches go downhill, I started way to many projects at once.I have 10 or more large females and a tone of multiple sized juveniles. Hopefully some TLC and time will help the numbers increase. I may have to buy more.

 
No i didn't feed them off i was trying to breed up a little starter colony and i didn't keep up with the crystals for some time. Luckily i recovered what i did. These are my 1st roach actually, and i'm enjoying them! I don't have anything to feed them too so I have time. Compared to crickets which i raised, dubia are pretty easy.

 
Dubia was my first species also, I would say that I have a medium size colony of around 100 females, 90 males and over 500 nymphs mostly smalls.

 
I keep mine all in one bin because it seems that the nymphs grow up better. I had at least 2 or 3 batches of babies that didn't grow into second instar for about 2 months but when I put them with the adults they grew quite fast.

 
Dang! that's along time. I just broke down the other day and spent around $30 to speed up the process. Bought 10 females/5 males, and a mixed assortment of 100 large juveniles. Threw all of those into my container with my other females and juveniles i had. Now i have 3 different breeders genetics. So hopefully i will get a large healthy colony in a few months!
