All my juvies and adults eat dubias, and even most of my slings. Sometimes a sling won't go for a dubia nymph, so I'll give it a cricket. Also, the first time my adults eat after a molt, after waiting a couple of weeks, they won't take a dubia. They need something quick and jumpy to drive a feeding response. After that, they'll eat dubias.

So far I've only found three problems with dubias:
1) Boluses placed in a water dish ferment overnight into the most foul, slimy soup ever! Why don't cricket boluses smell as bad???

2) It doesn't take many dubias to fillup my tarantulas. I have 26 spiders and one 'pede and my dubias are multiplying faster than my t's can eat 'em.

3) I think I may have a skin allergy to cockroaches (well, it was confirmed by my allergist a few years back). I was an exterminator for years and have had more exposure to cockroaches than the average person. Anyway, my skin itches quite a bit after handling 'em, though not significant enough yet for me to get rid of them.

Apart from these three small issues, I'm glad I switched from crix to dubias.
