Dubbia

I have a Roach question! I have been breeding Dubbias for about 2 years now. Suddenly my production has slowed down. How much moisture do they need? We give them several baby carrots every 2 days, that is the only moisture they have. We also keep them with a small heat pad and they sit on the dryer, so they get plenty of warmth, but are not overly hot. Everything has been fine till now. With the meal worm woes...I'm counting on these to breed as if they were in my kitchen! Any ideas?

Throw in some other roaches from a different blood line, interbreeding slows down the reproduction.

We use water crystals, a high protein food, and carrots for ours.

This is 100% correct. New bloodlines should be introduced atleast once a year...

Thanks for the input! I will order some new ones, any ideas for where to go?

I just got a shipment in today from jason(theroachguy) and he was very easy to work with. He's only filling orders up to 500/week right now due to such high demand but he's a good guy and im happy cuz i have lots of roaches now hehe
