Roach feeder questions

[Newports]

Now I still don't have any scorps yet, since my plan didn't work out as well lol. So while Im waiting, might as well research about these new feeders I want to try.

Im gonna go with Blaptica Dubia. Non climbing/flying, almost no odor, docile and hardy, and pretty good breeders.

But my question is, do nymps grow slow?
If so that would be great since then I would easily feed them to the Vaejovis spinigeris and C. Vitattus/C. Exilicauda. Because I don't think they can easily take down an adult sized B. Dubia.

can someone show me a size comparision or some sort of an adult B. dubia?

thanks alot!

P.S. I really want to get out of loud/smelly/gross crickets. so help outt please! =)

i assume you plan on breeding them to feed your pets? just feed them the nymphs the adults produce instead of the actual adults.

ill find a picture that shows adult and nymph size for you, i know its somewhere in my harddrive

Depending on the temperature you keep them at dubias can be extremely slow growing. Mine are kepted at room temperatue with no additional heat and after 9 months from raising them from nymphs to adults, I'm still waiting for a batch.

Someone posted this many months ago for me on another forum when I asked a similar question.

Top left Cave roaches(adult and nymph) below that Discoid roach (adult and nymph),then Cuban burrowing roaches (Female, male,nymph). Bottom we have Orange heads( Adult and nymph).

Right hand side top are the Guyanan spotted roaches(male,female and nymph) bottom right Lobster (adult and nymph).
