That is quite the story: I totally believe it. I gave my aunt a big Dubia colony with over 1000 adults. When my uncle found out: 'Not in my house' he said....and immediately drove it to the nearest pet store and dropped it off (they offered him store credit-but he turned it down). I would have liked my bin and heating pad back if I knew he was going to ditch the entire colony...ahhh well...at least they have had a reliable supply of dubias there ever since...
Sorry to hear about your dubias. I don’t understand why people do this. At least your local pet store took the colony and put it to use though. PetsMart would have no idea what to do with it.

From what the previous owner said, they were all eating live. The largest one was eating rats, but everyone else (including a 900g female?) was on mice. I don’t think she had ever tried f/t. They all seem pretty hungry though so I am going to give f/t a try. Worst case scenario, my local exotics shop sells live feeders, and while I don’t like the idea, I understand a fed snake is better than nothing.
