I have hissers and love them. They are slow to reproduce and get large, but they grow faster than I thought they would. In terms of our various critters that eat them - leopard gecko gets smallish ones (vaseline around the top of her tank, too), box turtle will get some pre-killed in his bowl one day when I have more, blue tongue skink gets small to medium ones (vaseline around the top of her tank, too), pygmy hedgehog gets them handed to her live with tongs.
I saw a white one that had just shed its exoskeleton - very cool looking. Too bad I waited 2 hours to get the camera. By then, it was brown already!
We have mealworms, too.
Insect feeders are more fun than I ever thought they would be!
How big do Dubias get? Do they fly? Or are the adult wings "false wings"? I'm not even sure I can handle fluttering. Getting hissers was already a stretch since I'm roach-phobic. But I've made a lot of progress.
