Woo hoo! Thirteen days ago the wife and I purchased ten adult female and five adult male B. dubia specimens. We read all about breeding them and decided to go with the simplest method. We put them in a tupperware container, gave them water gel, food, and heat (85-90 degrees). Today, I counted about ten nymphs. All of the females except for two have a sac showing. I think a population explosion is about to happen.
If I understand correctly, I should expect the new nymphs to reach sexual maturity in four to six months. This means that in six months I will see an even larger yield. I'm exited. However, this does mean that I will have more dubia than I need. Therefore, I think that when the time comes I will be offering these for sale to the public.
Thoughts, comments, and suggestions are always welcome.
