I got a few dubias last Saturday. I bought about 7 or 8 females and a few males. Right now I have them in a small container but tomorrow, I'm moving them up to a 56qt tub. I heard these guys were easy, but I didn't think they were this easy! I literally just threw them in with some egg carton and toilet paper rolls and gave them some orange slices. I just found over 30 babies crawling around the container and many of the females are still fat.

Are oranges all they need or would providing other food in addition to the oranges be better? I was told all they needed was oranges. That's all I've been feeding them for a week. I was thinking of providing a mix of dog food and oats as a dry food.

How long does it take them to grow up into breedable adults? These things are awesome! And no smell! All I can really smell is a very faint smell that is almost citrus like. Its not offensive at all. I can't wait to see what my leo thinks of these.
