Dubia Roach Starter Colonies

Bessemer City NC

Description

I'm offering starter colonies of dubia roaches. This will include 15 females (possible gravid), 5 males and several nymphs. In total they will be over 50. I have personal been breeding these for years. I stay around Bessemer City/Gastonia. I will not travel to Charlotte. Call or text (preferred). $30 per colony. Lifespan: 16 - 24 months Care Difficulty Level: easy/moderate Caging: Dubia cannot climb glass or smooth plastic. House Dubia roaches in Rubbermaid or Sterlite containers with screened lids. Substrate: Egg crates should be positioned vertically for additional floor/living space. Required Temperatures: 82-95 degrees Humidity: 40%-50% is preferred levels. Keep a spray bottle and spray lightly to maintain the proper humidity. Also, water crystals will aid in the humidity. Food Requirements: Dubia roaches are decomposers, feeding on ripe fruit and other plant materials. Dry roach food is available as well. Make sure there are no chemicals in the ingredients. When feeding any fresh fruits or vegetables, do not put in more than they can eat in 24–36-hour period to avoid problems caused by rotten food. Mold can kill a roach colony. A small dish of water crystals should be always available. Maintenance: Always keep food and water available and clean out the waste as needed. Do not allow the waste to get any deeper then 1/2-3/4 of an inch. The baby Dubia will burrow into the waste and should be removed prior to disposing of the waste. Once again, make sure there are no signs of mold
