While a bit off-topic: I went home to visit my parents for Thanksgiving.
My mom was breeding Fire-Bellied Toads for a while and had hundreds of them at one point.
She was initially feeding them crickets, but, really despised the odor.
I introduced her to Dubia roaches several years ago and she had been feeding them those since...
Recently she sold several hundred toads to local pet stores and the remaining ones (pets) she taught to eat floating Tetra ReptoMin pellets in a black plastic container which she floated in the water.
As for the remaining Dubias, after they were frozen: she had enough to fill a 2.5 gallon bag.
While the frozen roaches will be used as a supplemental food for the quail/chickens...
in the event of a crisis, she said she plans on using them as a backup protein source.
Anyhow, I thought it was amusing.
