Look on craigslist, I found a lady who sold me a couple hundred mix sizes for only $50. They were great, my beardie and my savy both loved them. I don't have the colony anymore but they were suuuper easy to maintain.

i live in utah 2 hours away from the big city. Could someone find out for me or possibly give me a link to find one. when i bought my columbian from a person they were selling their dubias with them. had about 10000 for 150. Plus the 40 gallon tank and the heat for it. I believe i missed out on the best deal of my life!

Says on the site the 500 are mostly nymphs, the 1000 mixed sized adults included.

I would set up any Dubia colony, then leave them to build up regardless of size, albeit you could feed some right away if purchased larger than smaller but that depends on what you're feeding as well.
