Faden's Second Dubia roach!! (video)

[PuffDragon]

Hey guys,
So I shot this video today and it's Faden's first roach. The roach was an adult male from my colony I am starting. I have a few extra males then needed so I decided to try one on Faden. I have one question though....is this food item still too big for him? Let me know and enjoy the video.

They like the roaches but they have a little trouble figuring it out. Lol. The roaches are a new shape to them and they expect em to break in half but they dont. We just started our True Death Head Colony and they are really interesting.

p.s. - Make sure you recognize the difference between male and female. I realized I fed Apollo a gravid female after a friend saw the photo I took. >.<

 

[PuffDragon]

ha with Blaptica Dubia its impossible to mistake the male for females as adults. The nymphs however all look like little females.

I fed our male Blue (4) adult females in there bath tub. He had a hard time killing them because the legs stick to his face! When he finally would get them in his mouth he'd crush the crap out of them before swallowing them. When I threw the last (2) in he killed the first one and then killed and ate the second before going back to the first.
