B. Dubia question

[Israel2004]

I have a really small colony of B. dubia, 7 adults & 30 nymphs.

The nymphs were born back in the begining of Oct., I haven't had any since then. I'm wondering if the male:female ratio of my colony is causing the problem. I have 5 males to 2 females.

Conditions they're being kept at, a constant 82 degrees & humidity varies from lowest 40% - highest 65%. Being fed a diet of cat food, dog food, fish flakes, ground up corn & ground up oats (can you tell I keep a zoo in my house?)

Guess I should of asked this a month ago, just checked on the colony and I have a batch of little white nymphs.

Something about feeding them oranges that gives them a boost for love

Well counted them this morning, have another 40 nymphs.

Looking at the females I can tell which one had them, she's alot thinner than the other one, both were really plump before.
