Males can fly, they can't get much lift on their own but they can fly just fine. But they never have any desire to, why leave some place that has EVERY thing, including room service?
. They are all in a separate container and are going to be pets. I continue feeding crickets.
XD I meant what I wrote, I can't feed them. Unfortunately. Maybe I can when I have a population boom
!
hard to tell online humor sometimes. Dont feel bad. Im sure they will clear it up for you.
I hope so XD, it's so interesting how on a forum to forum basis it can take a while to adjust to a new one. I am a part of a lot since I have a LOT of different specific animals in my house who do best with sepcialized care. So I usually find my way there as soon as they arrive XDhard to tell online humor sometimes. Dont feel bad. Im sure they will clear it up for you.
I still find pest species of roach somewhat revolting, but the dubia roaches don't really bother me. They look like little armadillos and are kind of amusing.
It took me a couple of years to persuade my husband to let me try dubias as feeders, and the only reason he acquiesced is that they are unlikely to be able to start an infestation (if they escaped).
Really? I don't even cover my dubia bins anymore. I have never witnessed any males even so much as fluttering, even when cleaning and handling them.
Ah, all a matter of opinion, I guess. I find them to be much more convenient than other feeders such as crickets or red runners. To each his own, though. What feeder do you prefer?
I am the same way!! I have to focus on the need of feeding in order to get through the sound and resistance of crushing their little heads.
For my wee little small slings, I offer them a dubia leg, and man...that it probably the worst. I'll try and rip off the legs quickly, and then feed the sad dubia to my oldest bearded dragon, for a quick death.
Me yesterday slicing roaches. I cant stand it. It hurts it. Im sure they are delicous...I am the same way!! I have to focus on the need of feeding in order to get through the sound and resistance of crushing their little heads.
I love my dubias and give them the best life I can, even if they are a just feeder. I still feel like a monster, sometimes.
I have only ever see them fly on vids when they have gotten out of bins for prolonged times. And they do. I also have personally seen them hover during territory battles. But roaches also recognize their caretakers, and they have no reason to leave the bin. They are intelligent, as long as you provide them with food consistently and nothing is off with their enclosures etc, they won't leave.
Tacos!
