[QUOTE="Mantis_M, post: 302648, member: 9354"] I actually was able to snag 100 dubias from the local repticon! They eat fruits and veggies (usually fresh) You want to stay away from high protein diets as it makes them release toxins that other insects / reptiles don't tolerate well usually. (cat / dog food is not good to feed them) They breed at high heat, but will tolerate room temperature An egg crate set up similar to crickets to climb on will due, will a layer of Vaseline around the rim of the container so they cant crawl out. IF dubias escape they populate so I advise caution :) its good to keep them outdoors, as a lot of people can develop allergies to them out of nowhere. Hope this basic info helps! - P.S I work on a computer for bing.com... so I float around a lot of forums, I reply to posts kind of fast lol! [/QUOTE]
