I was at the LPS and they had a couple left. We got them out and it turned out to be a pair. I had a bunch of credit to burn, so they came home with me.
They are awesome to look at, but to observe them feeding is incredible!
I fed crickets on the second night, which were eaten eagerly. The next day I found a freshly molted B. dubia nymph. I put it on the cork bark but it soon hit the substrate. About an hour later my female was on the substrate. That is a first, and I suspect she may have eaten it, as it was nowhere to be found.
I hope to get them eating roaches. I will try freshly molted at first, with crickets as well. I will update here as things progress. If they do not convert, I guess I am back in the cricket business. Totally worth it. Probably the coolest animals I have ever kept.
