Got my first order of dubia roaches in. 100 medium. Wish I'd done large but nonetheless. Both Ts are eating right now.
These things play dead!! And fast. I wonder if my arboreal would even find one of these if I didn't put it in her hammock. And then nudge it some to simulate movement. I don't think she leaves it.
Does the playing dead take the hunt out for them? I mean they freeze right up as soon as they sense the spider or a web, so far in my experience. Both Ts basically ended up standing over them and feeling slowly until finally gobbling them up.
Oh, snap, as I type this she looks like she is sloooowly moving toward the second one, which is about 4 inches from her in her hammock. Its been frozen from what I can tell, but it would seemmaybe it moved a leg cuz she's on the prowl.
My guy a foot down into his burrow, I just put 3 at the entrance and they went down and he got the first one, by the glass.
I dunno what I'm asking. I guess.. if I just put these in tanks I suppose they would wander around, freeze when hitting my pink toes web, and... they'd eventually be eaten? I guess she'd hear them exploring.
I already like them waaaay better than crickets. And my hope is they don't die in a weeks time. I have them in a blacked out critter cage with feeder food, water, and egg cartons.
Do you use them, like them?
