Dubia roaches

[Saurian]

:yahoo:Anyone that keeps dubia roaches what temps you keep yours at? Mine seem to be reproducing pretty slow. I keep them at about room temp (about 75). They get greens, carrots, sometimes a bean or two, fluker cricket food, and sometimes a half a slice of bread. They have also got dog food in the past but I have cut that practice from the regime. Thanks.

Room temp will get barely any breeding at all. They're tropical, they like it HOT. I think my tub is in the 90's.

Oh.I was aiming for 75-80 sometimes higher since they are in a tub since we are headed for the summer here in Indiana . I knew they liked it warm but not that warm. Maybe Ill slap a heating pad on the little boogers. Thanks.

ya you'll get the best breeding in the mid 80's to the mid 90's

I got my roaches yesterday. Today i fed a few small nymphs to my Leo and he snapped them up quicker then the crickets and the phoenix worms.
