I have had my B dubia "colony" set up for abt a month and a half. I have seen 2 "sets" of tiny nymphs. I think my set up is fine....just a bit of peat moss in the bottom to fill the groove around the border of the plastic tub, 3 dishes; water crystal, crushed dog kibble and apples....three "pages" or layers of the cardboard fruit dividers (from the fruit store). I use the smallest heat pad during the night, covered with a towel so the plastic doesn't melt. Screen top is soldered into the plastic. OKAY......so where have the nymphs gone? Are dubias canabalistic, ever? I dug throught the peat at the bottom and only found 2 or three, and there were about 15 at last count. I don't see carcasses either.
Any ideas? could they just be hiding in the dirt? again its only about 1/2 inch deep around the perimeter of the bottom.......
