Feeding Blaptica Dubia ?

I've been raising a huge army of these fellas and I'll be eventually making them a staple diet for my chameleons along with the odd Superworms.

I feed my adult chameleons every other day and babies/juvis every day.

What would an adequate number of Dubia be to feed off to Adult males and adult females every other day? I plan on feeding off medium-large size Dubia but not the adults.

I'm thinking 2 or 3 medium-large Dubia every other day would be plenty for an adult chameleon along with a few superworms. Thoughts?

Are your Adults WC or CB Dean? I noticed that CB are pretty darn picky when it comes to roaches. It takes a while to get the stubborn ones to eat them lol. My WC guys eat the big ones like crazy though.

I would LOVE to see a Parsonii eat a nice juicy fat female Dubia

Males have wings, But they cannot fly or climb.
