I started a colony of Blaptica Dubia nearly a year ago and they have more then done their job. I have an excess amount I would like to feed off but my T's couldnt handle all of them. What are some ideal pets that can help get my numbers down? I am leaning towards a bullfrog or pacman but open to other ideas.

cut back on feeding, cool em' down a bit; that will cut down on the breeding.

I tried cooling down and cutting food. That didn't work for me.

Try feeding off the adult females, sell them, trade them for other critters, or just plain give them away to others.

I tried feeding my chickens my excess Discoids and they are afraid of them! My guinea hen on the other hand is a true roach slayer.
