When I bread bearded dragons I started out with 150 mixed Dubias and one bin . Before I knew it I had wayyyyy too many to deal with . I had 4 huge ass bins full of them . Cleaning the bins became ridiculously hard to do . Got way to overwhelmed and just gave them away to a friend with a couple beardies ..... his problem now XD

That is what I'm afraid of. But I don't know what to do with the ones to big for Smeagol. I literally don't. LOL. I don't really want to let them go. They are roaches. And..they don't belong here. I don't know anyone that could use them.

I could put them on craigslist to give away I guess. I duno.

I wouldn't mind a few breeding, but I can see that go a little crazy in no time. And I don't really want them in the house. Right now they are in the Garage, but soon it will get to hot in there. I guess I could put them on the open but covered back porch.

Sigh, how did all that happen, LOL, I didn't need more "pets".

If you need to dispose of excess adults, the best thing to do is freeze them to kill them, then toss. This is what I do with all the frass and leavings from my roach bin when I clean it, just in case there are any I missed. I don't want to risk them getting out in nature and becoming invasive. My BTS will also eat f/t roaches, so I freeze off excess males and save them for him. He'll eat live ones too, but this is a good way to preserve excess.

I know some people use a food processor and process frozen raoches into their CGD for extra protein. I haven't tried is as I don't have a dedicated food processor and I'm not putting roaches in the one I use for food lol.
