Do you make the roach chow yourself Rich? And whats it made out of ? Btw, im naming mine "Azure", which could be fine for a male or female. I also named my false widow "Oyl". Whether i have two or twenty, i like to name all my creatures

Sure do.
Protein powders, dried peas, unseasoned bread crumbs, fish foods, mazuri turtle food, whole grain oats, unmediated chick feed. That's off the top of my head. I know I'm forgetting a few things.
I have had dubia choose the dry chow over fresh veggies and fruits.

All my creatures have names too
I don't name them until I know I'm going to hold them back for sure.

ok...so heres some pics..
This is "Oyl", she immediately started webbing up her new home after the transfer and eats great for a wild spider:




And this is the baby ("Azure")




She still seems so lost in all that space.... Has not even made a single strand of web. Probably needs some time. Now I know how Pinky felt....he didn't start webbing for a whole week!

I would have to price it all out and see if its worth it. I'm not sure people want to spend very much on food for roaches :p

It's kinda like the enclosures. To keep the cost low enough for people to buy them, I'm really not making anything off them.
Now if I knew I could sell a bunch, I could try to buy in bulk at wholesale prices but I don't have the funds for that.

But I do like to keep my dubia healthy and happy. I also know what's going into them is going into everything that feeds on them. So its worth it to me

I know exactly whatcha mean bro....I feel the same way about my rodents that I breed for snake food. people think Im crazy when I tell them what food I buy for my rats....not to mention all the treats and toys I give em

[3skulls]

Yeah give her a week and she will web.
Then throw in a couple of pinheads. If she doesn't take live, crush a head and leave it over night.
I'm going to set up a couple a versi just like here as soon as I can.

I'm really enjoying these guys.

Edit**
Also that false widow is really cool!!!

Keep us updated on her for sure!!!

[4theSNAKElady]

I sure will. I want to go searching for more, but my husband is giving me "the grumbles" lol....he told me I have too many spiders. I told him there are probably twice more wild spiders loose in the house(that he doesn't know abut) than I have in micro terrariums....and that he is much safer knowing that I have at least some of them contained

[3skulls]

Haha.
My house is covered is spiders.
